This aluminate has a crystal structure cor-respanding to the structure of ~-alumina (for example, Na~111017).

Activation of these hexagonal aluminates by manganesè is known from the bcok by F.A. Kr~ger ("Some Aspects of the Luminescence of Solids", 1948) and yields materials efficiently lumines-cing upon electron excitation. ~pon excitation by ultra-violet radiation efficiently luminescent materials are obtained if the hexagonal aluminates are activated by bivalent europium.

-2--~ PHN 7352 ~L~3~L3L~
The object of the invention is to provide nove1 luminescent materials having an emission in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
A luminescent screen according to the invention is provided with a luminescent alkaline earth aluminate and is characterized in that the aluminate is activated by cerium and is defined by the formula Mel x_yCexAyAll2019~0 5(x y)~ where Me represents at least one of the alkaline earth metals strontium and calcium and A represents at least one of the alkali metals sodium, potassium and rubidium, in which up to 25 mol % of aluminium may be replaced by gallium and in which 0.005 ~ x ' 0.30 and 0 -~ y -~- 0.30.
A luminescent aluminate according to the invention has the same crystal structure as the above-mentioned hexagonal aluminates. It was found that upon activation of the strontium and/or calcium aluminates by cerium luminescent materials are obtained which luminesce very efficiently in a band (half-value width approximately 50 nm) with a maximum at 300-320 nm when excited by ultraviolet radiation, particularly short-wave ultraviolet radiation.
It was found that aluminium in these aluminates may be replaced by gallium while maintaining the crystal structure.
Ho~ever, not more than 25 mol % o~ Al203 is replaced by Ga203 in the luminescent aluminates according to the invention, because larger quantities of Ga203 yield materials having too low luminous fluxes for practical uses. Materials having a very low luminous flux are obtained when barium is chosen for the element denoted by Me. Therefore strontium and/or calcium ~L~6~L'~t~
is used for Me in the materials according to the invention, while small quantities of barium (for example, up to 10 at %) may be admitted. These small quantities of barium do not yield any extra advantage and are preferably not used.
Cerium used as an activator replaces part of the alkaline earth metals denoted by Me. The cerium content x may be chosen within the above-mentioned limits. For values of x of less than 0.005 materials having a too low luminous flux are obtained and for values of x of more than 0.30 materials are obtained whose emission is located beyond the desired part of the spectrum, namely at larger wavelengths.
As is apparent from the above-mentioned general formula, a further part of the alkaline earth metal may be replaced by one or more of the alkali metals sodium, potassium and rubidium denoted by A in the luminescent aluminates according to the invention. The hexagonal crystal structure is then maintained. Partial replacement of bivalent Me by univalent A has the advantage that a charge compensation is obtained which is generally desirable when Me is partially replaced by trivalent ions (trivalent cerium in the case of the materials according to the invention). A ~ull charge com-pensation is obtained when the content A is equal or sub-stantially equal to the content Ce. Materials according to the invention in which x is substantially equal to y are there-fore generally preferred.
The highest luminous fluxes are obtained with luminescent aluminates according to the invention in which the alkaline earth metal Me is strontium.
3L0~ 3 The luminescent aluminates according to the invention may be advantageously used in mercury vapour discharge lamps, both of the high-pressure and the low-pressure type. Such mercury vapour discharge lamps are used in equipment for influencing photochemical processes, for example, equipment for lacquer hardening or for generating erythemal radiation.
When used in combination with high-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamps it is a special advantage that the luminescent aluminates according to the invention have a very satis-factory temperature dependence of the luminous flux, because these materials are then brought to relatively high tempera-tures. It was found that at 500C the aluminates according to the invention may still have 100% of the luminous flux at room temperature. In high-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamps, for example, for irradiators or sun lamps, the materials according to the invention can efFiciently convert the 254 nm resonant radiation emitted by these lamps in addition to the 365 nm radiation into erythema radiation. When used in low-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamps aluminates according to the invention for w~ich y=0 are sometimes preferred, because alkali-containing materials are known to give rise to a relatively strong decline in the luminous flux during the lifetime of these lamps.
The luminescent aluminates according to the invention may be prepared by generally known methods. For example, it is possible to obtain the aluminates by heating a mixture of the composite oxides at a high temperature, for example, 1200-1700C. Instead of the oxides it is alternatively possible to use compounds yielding these oxides at an elevated temperature in the starting mixture (for example9 carbonates and hydroxides). This heat treatment is preferably performed in two or more stages with the first heat treatment taking place in air5 optionally at a relatively low temperature (for example, at 800C) so as to firstly decompose the hydroxides possibly used. To increase the reaction speed, part of aluminium or part of the alkaline earth metal Me may be added as fluoride to the firing mixture.
The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to an example, a number of measurements on examples of luminescent aluminates according to the invention, and a drawing.
In the drawing Fig. 1 ~iagrammatically shows a low-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp having a luminescent screen according to the invention, and Fig. 2 shows the spectral energy distribution of the emitted radiation of a ; luminescent aluminate according to the invention.
Example.
A mixture is made of 14.00 g SrC03 0.86 g Ce~2 93.20 9 Al(OH)3 0.70 9 A1F3.3H20 This mixture is heated in air in a furnace at 800C for 1 hour.
After cooling the product obtained is ground and sieved and subsequently heated in a weakly reducing atmosphere at a tempera-ture of 1500C for 1 hour. After cooling, grinding and sieving the reaction product defined by the formula SrO 95CeO 05A1120 19 025 is ready for use. The aluminate thus obtained is found to have a quantum efFiciency of approximately 70% when excited by short-wave ultraviolet radiation (254 nm). The emitted radiation consists of a band having its maximum at 303 nm and a half-value width of approx;mately 50 nm.
Analogously as in the above-mentioned example, a number of aluminates according to the invention is obtained in which sodium in the form of sodium carbonate is added to the firing mixture so as to obtain the charge compensation desired ~or replacement of Me2+ by Ce3+. Measurements were performed on the materials thus obtained and their results are summari~ed in the Table below. The Table states for each example the formula, the absorptlon of the exciting radiation (254 nm) in % under A, the hal~-value width of the emission band (in nm) under Hwb, and the location of the maximum of the emission band (nm) under A max TABLE
