The present disclosure broadly relates to a high temperature chemical process for the synthesis of cesium tungstate in the solid state and the preparation of aqueous solutions or deuterated solutions of cesium tungstate. More specifically, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to a high temperature chemical process in which tungsten oxide compounds such as tungsten oxides, or natural or synthetic concentrates such as wolframite or scheelite, tungsten industrial by-products or there mixture thereof, are mixed with cesium compounds such as cesium carbonate, or cesium sulfate, or cesium hydroxide or their mixtures thereof and the mixture is roasted in air or oxygen at high temperature inside a kiln. After cooling, the solid sintered mass containing cesium tungstate is leached or dissolved with water or heavy water for producing dense aqueous solutions or deuterated solutions of cesium tungstate.

A luminophore may have the general formula A.sub.2EZ.sub.zX.sub.x:RE,

where: A is selected from the group of the monovalent elements; E is selected from the group of the tetravalent, pentavalent, or hexavalent elements; Z is selected from the group of the divalent elements; X is selected from the group of the monovalent elements; RE is selected from activator elements; 2+e=2z+x, with the charge number e of the element E; and x+z=5 and z>0.

A process is also disclosed that is directed to producing the luminophore and a corresponding radiation-emitting component.

Methods for fabricating refractory metal scandate nanocomposite powders with homogeneous microstructured refractory metal grains and a uniform nanosized dispersion of scandia are provided. The powders prepared by the sol-gel methods have a spherical morphology, a narrow distribution of particle sizes and a very uniform dispersion of nanosized scandia particles joined to the tungsten grains. The powder particle sizes can range from nanometers to micrometers. The powders can be pressed into porous cathode structures that can be impregnated with emissive materials to produce high current density and long life cathodes for high-power terahertz vacuum electron devices. The sol-gel fabrication methods allow control over the materials, particle size, particle composition and pore size and distribution of the cathode structure by manipulation of the process parameters.
