Eu(3+)-activated novel alkaline earth metal (Sr and Ca) vanadate phosphors, Na(Sr(0.97-x), Ca(x))VO4:Eu0.03(3+) (x = 0 to 0.97) has been successfully synthesized using solid state reaction method and characterized by XRD, XPS, FE-SEM, luminescence (PLE, PL and CIE coordinate) and decay rate measurements as a function of Ca ion concentration. Phosphors show a broad excitation band (monitored for (5)D0 --> (7)F2 transition of Eu(3+)) in the 230-430 nm wavelength regions which make them highly suitable for LED chips. Material gives strong emission of Eu(3+) ion (λex = 323 nm) and intensity of this emission increases with increase in the doping concentration of Ca ions until a maximum is reached for Na(Sr0.22, Ca0.75)VO4:Eu0.03(3+) (x = 0.75) phase phosphor. The intensity ratio of (5)D0 --> (7)F2 to (5)D0 --> (7)F1 transition (monochromaticity, R) suggest that local symmetry around the Eu(3+) ion increases with increase in Ca ion concentration, which is responsible for enhanced emission.

The preparation of new phosphor with outstanding luminescent properties for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) is consistently a challenging. Here in the present study, A novel white-emitting chloropatite phosphor Ca(PO)Cl:Eu was synthesized via the pechini sol gel synthesis with citric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG) acid as a fuel at 850 °C systematically investigating the impact of doping concentration and synthesis temperature on both photoluminescence properties and crystal phase. The structural characteristics and crystalline nature of the prepared sample were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra.

Using the solid-state reaction technique, varied YSiO phosphors activated by europium (Eu) ions at varied concentrations were made at calcination temperatures of 1000 °C and 1250 °C during sintering in an air environment. The XRD technique identified the monoclinic structure, and the FTIR technique was used to analyze the generated phosphors. Photoluminescence emission and excitation patterns were measured using varying concentrations of Eu ions.

Far-red phosphors have emerged as a desirable research hotspot owing to their critical role in promoting plant growth. Especially, Eu ions typically present the D→F (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions, which overlap with the far-red light required for plant photosynthesis. However, achieving high-efficiency far-red emission of Eu remains challenging due to weak D→F transition and concentration quenching.

Background: Digital solutions, such as mobile apps or telemonitoring devices, are frequently considered facilitators in the process of empowering older adults, but they can also act as a source of digital exclusion or disempowerment if they are not adequate for older adults' needs and characteristics.
Objective: This study aimed to synthesize and critically evaluate existing evidence on the effectiveness of integrated digital solutions that enable interaction for empowering older adults in aspects related to their health and to explore potential factors (eg, type of technology, participants' characteristics) impacting effectiveness.
Methods: A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, EBSCO, and SciELO using a combination of terms informed by previous reviews on empowerment.
