Cubic or monoclinic Y2O3:Eu nanoparticles by flame spray pyrolysis

چکیده
Monocrystalline cubic and/or monoclinic Y2O3:Eu nanoparticles (10-50 nm) were synthesized continuously without post-processing by single-step flame spray pyrolysis (FSP). These particles were characterized by Xray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption (BET) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Photoluminescence (PL) emission was measured as well as the time-resolved PL-intensity decay. Synthesis of single and mixed crystal phase (monoclinic and/or cubic) Y2O3:Eu nanoparticles was achieved by controlling the precursor combustion conditions in the flame, hence the temperature profile (maximum flame temperature, cooling rate) as well as high temperature residence time which resulted in different particle growth histories which in turn affected particle characteristics as crystal phase, size and morphology. Longer high temperature residence time of the particles resulted in cubic nanoparticles with lower maximum PL-intensity than measured by commercial micron-sized bulk Y2O3:Eu phosphor powder.

متن کاملDensification and polymorphic transition of multiphase Y2O3 nanoparticles during spark plasma sintering
Multiphase (MP) monoclinic and cubic Y2O3 nanoparticles, 40 nm in diameter, were densified by spark plasma sintering for 5–15 min and100 MPa at 1000 C, 1100 C, and 1500 C. Densification started with pressure increase at room temperature. Densification stagnated during heating compared to the high shrinkage rate in cubic single-phase reference nanopowder. The limited densification of the MP nano...
