Graphene has emerged as the most popular subject area in the active research field since its discovery in 2004. The published documents illustrate the popularity of Graphene research and innovations, spontaneously increased from about 150 in 2004 to 21,500 in 2018. Graphene is relatively young but high-hope for markets. The cover photo of May 2019 issue describes the structure of a cylindrical Graphene to celebrate the 15th anniversary of it's discovery.

Pure and Eu2+ doped BaAl2O4 phosphors have been synthesized by simple solid state reaction technique. Synthesized BaAl2O4 samples were studied using powder X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), Fourier Transform - Infra Red Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Alkaline earth divalent (Sr, Ca, Zn, Mg) and halides (F, Cl, Br, I) were used as co-dopants to enhance the PL properties of BaAl2O4:Eu2+ phosphor. Significant impact of ionic radii of co-dopants on PL properties of the phosphor is reported.
