The production and characterization of inorganic based white phosphorescent pigments

In the thesis, the pigments (Ca2MgSi2O7: Ce3+) having Ca2MgSi2O7 that absorb light in a certain wavelength (~360 nm, UV-A lamp) and emit in the white region were produced via solid state reaction method. Also, the pigments that emit in the red (Ca2MgSi2O7: Sm3+) and yellow-green (Ca2MgSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+) region were produced. Afterwards it was sought to derive decorative or functional new ceramic products by using those pigments emitting in the white region for 3rd firing (decor firing) wall tile vetrosa and glaze applications as well as the investigation of behaviour of pigments which were exposed to heat over agai, so the experiments were carried out in the laboratory.
