Abstract
The phosphor and the X-ray intensifying screen according to the present invention emit light by the excitation of X-rays and they are used for medical and industrial radiography. In addition to the conventional contents of rare earth tantalate and/or rare earth niobate, the phosphor according to the present invention contains a determined quantity of divalent metal. This divalent metal content can make the improvement of the afterglow characteristic and the light emission characteristic of the phosphor. The phosphor according to the present invention is represented by the general formula (I) MyLn.sub.1 -X-.sub.(2/3) yDO.sub.4 : xR.sup.3+ (I). In the general formula above, M is at least one divalent metal selected from the group consisting of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn and Cd, Ln being at least one selected from the group consisting of Y, Gd, La, and Lu, D being either or both of Ta and Nb, R being at least one selected from the group consisting of Tm, Pr, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy and Yb or the base substance is self-activating, and y is a value in the range 1.times.10.sup.-5 .ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1, and x is a value in the range 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.05.
