Stability limit of -alumina phase lies at M12k > 4.6 Å
Eu2+ (r9 = 1.17 Å) is smaller than Sr2+ (r9 = 1.26 Å)
Thus: Eu2+-ion incorporation destabilizes the ß-alumina phase
Incorporation of large cations stabilizes the ß-alumina phase (Rb+, K+)

• Increasing the contrast: doping of screen’s glass, color filters, black matrix
Phosphors
• Improving the photostability of the blue phosphors
• Shortening of the decay of the green phosphors
• Improvement of the color point and shortening of the decay of the red phosphor
• Increasing the contrast of colored phosphors
