Claim 2
Dependent Claim
23 words
A phosphor having the general formula NaH(Zn 1-x Mn x PO 4 ) 2 where x is between about 0.02 to about 0.12.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words

Claim 4
Independent Claim
83 words
A method for making a phosphor having the general formula NaH(Zn 1-x Mn x PO 4 ) 2 , where x is between about 0.02 to about 0.12, comprising the steps of forming an aqueous mixture by combining appropriate quantities of NaH 2 PO 4 ·H 2 O, MnCl 2 ·4H 2 O, and aqueous solutions of NaOH and Zn(NO 3 ) 2 , with water, and heating the aqueous mixture in an enclosed vessel at about 70° C. for about 4-5 days.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
83 words
A method for making a phosphor having the general formula NaH(Zn 1-x Mn x PO 4 ) 2 , where x is between about 0.02 to about 0.12, comprising the steps of forming an aqueous mixture by combining appropriate quantities of NaH 2 PO 4 ·H 2 O, MnCl 2 ·4H 2 O, and aqueous solutions of NaOH and Zn(NO 3 ) 2 , with water, and heating the aqueous mixture in an enclosed vessel at about 70° C. for about 4-5 days.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the aqueous solutions of NaOH and Zn(NO 3 ) 2 have concentrations of 4M and 2M, respectively.
