Abstrakt: In this paper we review the luminescence properties of Pr-doped CaTiO phosphors, the different methods of sample preparation, and characterization of the materials by use of different techniques, for example X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis, and atomic force microscopy. Solid-state, sol-gel (SG), and combustion methods are most often used for preparation. The high calcining temperature of the solid-state method can be reduced by addition of rare earth oxides (lanthanide series) LnO and LuO. By use of tetra- n-butyl titanates and calcium nitrates as raw material in the modified solid-state method the luminous properties of samples can be optimized at lower sintering temperatures (600 °C) in less time. SG procedures lead to substantial reinforcement of red photoluminescence intensity so can be regarded as the best technique for phosphor preparation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
