Abstract:
An energy transfer process from Ce3+ to Tb3+ ions was successfully achieved in a Li2 SO4 -Al2 (SO4 )3 mixed-sulphate system. A wet-chemical synthesis was employed to prepare the Li2 SO4 -Al2 (SO4 )3 system by doping Ce3+ and Tb3+ ions individually as well as collectively. The phases were identified using X-ray diffraction studies. The as-prepared samples were characterized by FT-IR and photoluminescence measurements. Green-light emission was exhibited by Ce3+ , Tb3+ co-doped Li2 SO4 -Al2 (SO4 )3 system, thus, indicating its potential as a material for display devices or in the lamp industry.

Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
