“…Up to the present, visible emissions have been demonstrated from RE ions such as Ce 3+ , Tb 3+ , Er 3+ , Tm 3+ , Pr 3+ , Eu 3+ , Sm 3+ and so on [3][4][5][6][7]. Among all RE ions, the Ce 3+ ion has received much attention and there have been a lot of reports on the Ce 3+ ions doped luminescent materials in the last several years, for examples, Ce 3+ -doped YAG phosphor and glassceramic for white light emitting diode [6,8].…”
