Isotopically enriched luminescent materials and methods of making same

摘要

The invention is directed to luminescent materials containing isotopically-enriched atomic elements and methods of making these luminescent materials. Individual embodiments of the invention include isotopically-enriched ZnO:Zn, ZnS:Cu:Cl, Zn2SiO4:Mn, Y2O2S:Eu, Gd2O2S:Tb and CaWO4 phosphors as well as methods of synthesizing these luminescent materials using isotopically-enriched starting materials.
