Quantum splitting oxide phosphors are described for use with VUV radiation. One oxide material has an atomic ratio, comprising: n La 1-X Pr X MgB 5 O 10 ; where 0<X≦0.20. nAnother oxide material has an atomic ratio, comprising: n Sr 1-X Pr X Al 12-X Mg X O 19 , where 0<X≦0.20 nBoth materials are stable and compatible for use as a phosphor with VUV radiation created by Hg vapor discharge. |
