Lanthanide ions act as excellent luminescence centers and good charge carrier traps. By selecting proper lanthanide ions, persistent phosphors with the desired luminescent color can be developed. In addition, an appropriate host material give not only better performance but also additional function. Herein, bright white of Pr3+–Tb3+–Eu3+ tridoped paramagnetic Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) are successfully Th...

Multiferroic materials exhibit magnetoelectric (ME) coupling and promise new device applications including magnetic sensors, generators, and filters. An effective method for developing ME materials with enhanced ME effect is achieved by the coupling through the interfacial strain between piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials. In this study, the electrical and magnetic properties of Ga do...

Lanthanide-doped nanophosphors have emerged as promising optical labels for high-resolution, “multicolor” electron microscopy. Here, we develop a library of 11 unique lanthanide-doped with average edge lengths 15.2 ± 2.0 nm (N = 4284). These consist an electron-stable BaYF5 host lattice doped at 25% atomic concentration the lanthanides Pr3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Ce3+, Ho3+, Er3+, Tm3+,...

Multiferroic CoFe2O4-Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 lms were prepared on TiO2-terminated (001) Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The lms were epitaxial and exhibited a large in-plane magnetic anisotropy and good ferroelectric properties. A decrease in the magnetization around the ferroelectric Curie temperature indicated magnetoelectric coupling between the magnetostrictive and th...
