Luminescent properties of Eu-doped magnetic Na3FeF6

Preparation and luminescent properties of Eu- doped BaTiO3 thin films by sol–gel process

Eu-doped BaTiO3 thin films with a pseudo-cubic perovskite structure were successfully fabricated on magnesia substrates at low temperature by using a high-concentration sol–gel process, in which the newly developed gel-aging process on substrate was employed. Film microstructure, crystallinity, sintering properties and photoluminescence (PL) were investigated. The xerogel thin films exhibited s...

Revised crystal structure and luminescent properties of gadolinium oxyfluoride Gd₄O₃F₆ doped with Eu³⁺ ions.

The structure of gadolinium oxyfluoride nanoparticles was revised. Extensive studies including X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the monoclinic P12/c1 crystal structure of Gd4O3F6. Morphological analysis using transmission electron microscopy showed the nanocrystallinity of the materials prepared via the...

The Effect of Annealing, Synthesis Temperature and Structure on Photoluminescence Properties of Eu-Doped ZnO Nanorods

In this study un-doped and Eu-doped ZnO nanorods and microrads were fabricated by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method. The effects of annealing, synthesis temperature and structure on structural and photoluminescence properties of Eu-doped ZnO samples were studied in detail. Prepared samples were characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size a...

Magnetic and upconverted luminescent properties of multifunctional lanthanide doped cubic KGdF4 nanocrystals.

Lanthanide (Ln3+) doped KGdF4 (Ln=Yb3+, Er3+, Ho3+, Tm3+) nanocrystals with a mean diameter of approximately 12 nm were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using oleic acid as a stabilizing agent at 180 °C. The nanocrystals crystallize in the cubic phase as α-NaGdF4. When excited by a 980 nm laser, these Ln3+ doped nanocrystals exhibit multicolor up-conversion (UC) emissions in red, yellow, bl...
