When the particle size becomes comparable to wavelengths of light, the optical properties of phosphor powders undergo remarkable qualitative changes so that the luminescence performance of nanophosphor screens, along with a very pronounced influence of the particle size, becomes dependent on several additional parameters such as packing density of nanoparticles, refractive index and chemical composition of the medium between them. This brings about both advantages and disadvantages which are discussed in this review of recent literature on the synthesis, deposition, and applications of nanophosphors. ©2014 Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation.en2187-5537201412252Party of Powder Technology (Japan)Lanthanide-doped nanoparticlesNanophosphorsParticle size effectsPhosphor screensPhosphor-converted white LEDsTransparent luminescent coatingsPhysikChemieJournal Article10.14356/kona.2014006Other
