Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are extensively used to protect critical components such as aircraft turbines to provide thermal insulation at elevated temperatures. At high operating temperatures, damage mechanisms such ...

The UV-A emitting ZnB2O4:Pb2+ crystalline powder phosphors were produced using the conventional solid-state reaction synthesis technique at 830 °C for 6 h in air. The morphology and structure of the phosphors were explored ...
