LIGHT-CONVERTING MATERIAL AND COMPOSITION FOR PRODUCING SAID MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C09K11/08 C08K3/10 C08K3/30 C09K11/77 C08K3/22 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: described is light-converting material containing a matrix and at least one composite which converts UV radiation to radiation of a different colour, with particle size from 10 nm to 1000 nm, selected from a group ZnO:Zn and rare-earth element compounds of formula: Me_x ^aA_y ^bR_z ^c , where Me denotes a metal, selected from a group comprising yttrium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, ytterbium, aluminium, bismuth, manganese, calcium, strontium, barium, zinc or mixture thereof; A denotes a metal selected from a group comprising cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, terbium, ytterbium, titanium, manganese; R is an element selected from a group comprising oxygen, sulphur, boron, titanium, aluminium and/or compounds thereof with each other; a, b and c denote the charge on the Me ion, A or R, respectively, x≥1, 1.0 ≥ y ≥ 0.0001, z is defined by ax + by = cz. The invention also describes a composition for producing said material, containing the following in wt %: said composite - 0.001-10.0; matrix-forming component - the rest.

EFFECT: invention increases intensity of converting UV radiation to infrared radiation, blue to green spectrum region, and therefore increases plant yield.
