Abstract
It has been found that the inclusion of stannous compounds in relatively large concentrations in the preparation of zinc sulphide phosphors results in an intense red luminescence when excitation is by ultra-violet light of long wavelength (3650-4000 A.). Such characteristics as the luminescence spectra, excitation spectra, phosphorescence and thermoluminescence and the variation of luminescence with temperature have been studied. The hexagonal crystal form of zinc sulphide is essential to the production of efficient phosphors with tin as the activating impurity.
