Abstract:For purposes of optimizing the microstructure and fluorescence properties of rare-earth elements (REEs)-doped fluorapatites (FAps), various kinds of REEs (La, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Er, and Yb) with the concentration of 2~20 mol.% have been inserted into the FAps framework via hydrothermal method, in order to investigate the influential mechanism of the REEs on the crystal structure, morphology, and fluorescence under the excitation of the near-ultraviolet light of the FAps. Experimental results show that the wav… Show more
