`
`Abstract
`
`Ce 3 + : Y 3Al 50 12 (Ce: YAG) is an important phosphor in high intensity CRT displays since it does not saturate at high
`electron beam power. The saturation power level is of the order of 1 W j cm 2 for most cathodoluminescent materials, and
`this limits the maximum surface brightness of a typical cathode ray tube. However, Ce 3 + : Y AG has been found to be
`linear to at least 104 WI em 2
`. This performance has encouraged our examination of another cerium activated phosphor,
`lanthanum beryllate, Ce: La 2Be 20 5 (Ce: BEL). A crystal of lanthanum beryllate activated with a cerium concentration of
`410 1 8
`atoms/ cm 3 was grown by the Czochralski crystal growth technique. Wafers were prepared from the crystal and
`analyzed in both the as-grown state and after annealing in a flowing atmosphere of 10% by volume hydrogen in argon at
`1150 oc for 4 h. Cathodoluminescent measurements revealed a broadband blue emission of 100 nm width centered at
`480 nm, a blue-shifted analog of the Ce: YAG spectrum. A linear efficiency of0.13lm / W was found to a power loading of
`8 W/ cm 2
`. Pulsed excitation of aCe: BEL crystal by 375 nm radiation produced by frequency doubling of a 750nm laser
`demonstrated a decay time of the fluorescence of the order of 50 ns. All these data show that Ce: La2 Be 20 5 is an excellent
`candidate as a blue phosphor for high intensity CRT applications, particularly for high resolution projection displays
`using single crystal faceplates.
`
`1. Introduction
`
`Conventional CRT faceplates are formed by the
`deposition of phosphor powder on the inside of
`a glass envelope of limited thermal conductivity.
`The image resolution and power capabilities of
`these faceplates are limited, and many applications
`now require CRT performance at the limits of
`phosphor facepl ate technology. The resolution of
`conventional faceplates is limited by phosphor par(cid:173)
`ticle size to about 20 J..lm. Long-term operation
`at high intensity is limited by a decomposition
`threshold of about 1 W j cm 2
`. Short-term operation
`at high intensity is limited by saturation effects
`which, aside from thermal quenching and space
`charge build-up, arise from activator ground
`state depletion, excited stated absorption and
`
`cross-relaxation processes. Activator ground state
`depletion as a consequence of long fluorescent
`decay time is a general feature of phosphors [1].
`Phosphor particles will actually melt at about
`5 W j cm 2
`• High-intensity operation also
`limits
`phosphor lifetime by a process called coulombic
`degradation. This failure mode reduces the inten(cid:173)
`sity of P53, a standard phosphor, to 50o/o of
`its
`initial value after an electron dosage of
`140 C/ em 2
`. This leads to a CRT lifetime in a high
`luminance application of about 1000 h under the
`best conditions.
`Single crystal cathode ray tube faceplates have
`several significant advantages over powder phos(cid:173)
`phor faceplates. Since single crystals have no
`granulation, resolution is
`limited only by the
`dimension of the electron beam. Single crystal

`
`phosphor faceplates do not decompose at high
`power levels, and, because of the intimate thermal
`contact between the excited phosphor portion of
`the crystal and the rest of the crystal faceplate,
`thermal quenching effects are mitigated. Single
`crystal phosphors have shown no coulombic degra(cid:173)
`dation.
`Since the saturation power level is of the order
`of one watt per square centimeter for most
`cathodoluminescent materials,
`this
`limits
`the
`maximum surface brightness of the face of a
`typical cathode ray tube [2,3]. The single crystal
`phosphor, cerium activated yttrium aluminum
`garnet, Ce 3 + :Y 3 Al 50 12 or Ce:YAG, is a cath(cid:173)
`odoluminescent material which has not been
`found to saturate to an excitation power level
`of 104 W j cm 2 [3,4]. The color of the emitted light
`from Ce: YAG
`is yellow-green, and
`its cath(cid:173)
`odoluminescent spectrum
`is sufficiently broad
`that both green and red colors are available
`through filtering, but there is practically no light
`emission in the blue region of wavelength less
`than 475 nm. Red-shifting of the cerium spectrum
`by nearly 50 nm has been accomplished by substi(cid:173)
`tution of gadolinium for yttrium, but similar
`attempts at blue-shifting have been only partially
`successful
`[5]. Single crystal cerium-activated
`yttrium orthosilicate, Ce: Y 2Si0 5 or Ce: YSO,
`a blue phosphor, has been investigated by AT&T
`Bell Laboratories [6,7] which found saturation at
`high power.
`The performance of Ce: Y AG has encouraged
`our examination of another cerium activated
`phosphor,
`lanthanum beryllate, Ce: La2 Be 2 0 5
`(Ce : BEL). BEL is a c-centered monoclinic crystal
`with lattice constants a = 0.7536, b = 0.7348 and
`c = 0.7439 nm and f3 = 91.55° [8]. Each unit cell
`contains four La 2Be 20 5 formula units, and a dis(cid:173)
`tinctive feature of the crystal structure is that
`the lanthanum cations, and the cerium activator
`cations which substitute
`for
`lanthanum, are
`irregularly coordinated to ten oxygen atoms. The
`density of lanthanum cations is 1.941022
`em - 3 ,
`and the refractive indices at a wavelength of
`1 ~mare nx = 1.9641 , ny = 1.9974, and nz = 2.0348.
`BEL has a melting point of a bout 1360 °C,
`and a thermal conductivity about half that of
`YAG.
`
`2. Material preparation
`
`A crystal of cerium activated lanthanum beryl(cid:173)
`late was grown by the Czochralski crystal growth
`technique from a heated mixture of cerium oxide,
`lanthanum oxide, and beryllium oxide
`in an
`iridium crucible at 1360oc [9]. The charge consis(cid:173)
`ted of a 330 g total mixture in the following molar
`percentages: La 20 3 , 49.75°/o; Ce 20 3 , 0.25°/o; BeO,
`50.00°/ o. This is an effective cerium doping of 0.5°/o
`in the melt. Care was taken to correct the weights of
`these oxide powders for absorbed water. This mix(cid:173)
`ture was fused in a cylindrical iridium crucible of
`370 g weight, 2 in (50 mm) in diameter, 2 in (50 mm)
`in height, using RF heating, and after homogeniz(cid:173)
`ing the mixture at a temperature somewhat above
`1400 °C, it was cooled to a temperature at which
`a growth of crystal was observed on the end of
`a seed crystal of b-axis BEL dipped into the molten
`mixture. A large single crystal, attached to the seed
`crystal, was
`then pulled from
`the melt with
`45 rev / min rotation at a rate of 0.5 mm/ h in a pro(cid:173)
`grammed furnace power cycle which was designed
`to give a cylindrical crystal shape. After sufficient
`crystal length had been achieved, the crystal was
`removed from the melt and slowly cooled. The
`resultant, approximately cylindrical, crystal of ce(cid:173)
`rium-doped lanthanum beryllate was 163.5 g in
`weight, 17/4in (108mm) long and 3/4in (19mm) in
`diameter.
`Mass spectrometric analysis of this crystal
`showed that the concentration of cerium sub(cid:173)
`stituted for lanthanum was 410 18
`atomsjcc. Wa(cid:173)
`fers 19 mm diameter by 3 mm thickness were pre(cid:173)
`pared from this crystal and some were annealed in
`a flowing atmosphere of 10°/o by volume hydrogen
`in argon at 1150 oc for 4 h. It was found that this
`reduction anneal changed the appearance of the
`crystal wafers from an orange color to transparent.
`The reduction anneal also doubled the cathodo(cid:173)
`luminescent efficiency of the Ce: BEL wafers.
`
`3. Photometry
`
`Wafers were coated on one side with 80 nm of
`aluminum and mounted in a demountable face(cid:173)
`plate cathode ray tube testing station. The wafers

`
`emission approximately doubled after the hydro(cid:173)
`gen anneal to a value of 0.13 lms/ W. The electron
`beam power was increased in steps to 8.3 W j cm 2
`and no saturation was noted, as seen in Fig. 2. This
`is in contrast to the performance of the Ce: YSO
`blue phosphor, as measured for a wafer from a crys(cid:173)
`tal prepared by the Airtron Division of Litton Sys(cid:173)
`tems, Inc. (200 East Hanover Ave., Morris Plains,
`NJ 07950, telephone (201)-539-5500).
`A rod of Ce : BEL, 5 mm diameter by 48 mm in
`length, was prepared from the crystal and excited
`by a pulse of 375 nm radiation produced by fre(cid:173)
`quency doubling of a 750 nm alexandrite laser. The
`light intensity as a function of time was recorded for
`the excitation pulse and the fluorescence of the
`cerium activated lanthanum beryllate
`rod, as
`shown in Fig. 3. These data demonstrate a fluor(cid:173)
`escence decay time of the order of 50 ns.
