Described by the chemical formula β-Si6−zAlzOzN8−z, from a compositional viewpoint, these materials can be regarded as solid solutions between Si3N4 and Al3O3N. SiAlON ceramics, solid solutions based on the Si3N4 structure, are important, lightweight structural materials with intrinsically high strength, high hardness, and high thermal and chemical stability. This is followed by a study to understand structural ordering in the framework of the commercial green-emitting phosphor material, β-Si6−zAlzOzN8−z, as a function of Al content. The following dissertation begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of solid state lighting, phosphors, and a summary of some recent advances in the field.

Two additional games that were influential were GoldenEye 007 (1997) and the Halo series (2001) both available on gaming console.Īs shooters are a type of high adrenaline skill-based game with multiplayer possibilities, they were influential in the growing popularity of esports.Inorganic phosphor materials play a crucial role in the creation of white light from blue and near-UV solid-state sources, and understanding the intricacies of phosphor structure is key to set the stage for improved, more efficient functionality. Counter-Strike popularized the multiplayer first-person shooter genre that remains popular today. In 1999, the now-famous mod titled Counter-Strike was released for free and became more popular than the underlying half-life game engine it relied on. Half-Life 2 became a popular platform for adding mods or modifications to the game. The sequel Half-Life 2 was released in 2004 adding impressive storylines and puzzle elements. Later in 1998 the game Half-Life offered improved graphic and true 3D.

Doom featured pseudo-3D graphics and item drops in maze-like levels full of monsters. The FPS genre was popularized in 1993 with the famous Doom game for personal computers running the MS-DOS command line operating system. As these games feature firearms and movement, the parent category is action games. First-person shooters (FPS) are a subgenre of shooting games and feature a point of view where the players see through the eyes of the game character.
