Abstract

The firing voltage (FV) of gas discharge in a test cell of plasma display materials was investigated for standard protective layers of MgO deposited by electron beam, and ternary BaY2O4 and BaGa2O4 oxides grown by pulsed laser deposition on the special dielectric coated glass substrates. The determined FVs for MgO (160 V), BaY2O4 (210 V) and BaGa2O4 (257 V) lead to the conclusion that a replacement of MgO by these ternary oxides is not expedient for plasma display panels. Using results from luminescence spectroscopy, values for the energy gap Eg ≈ 6.2 and 5.8 eV were estimated for BaY2O4 and BaGa2O4, respectively. The main reason for the observed high FVs is attributed to strong electron affinities χ, where χ (BaY2O4) < χ (BaGa2O4).
