Luminescent properties of nano-sized Y2O3:Eu fabricated by co-precipitation method

Microwave assisted synthesis of monodispersed Y2O3 and Y2O3:Eu3+ particles

“…A wide range of synthesis techniques have been developed for the preparation of pure and doped nanocrystalline Y 2 O 3 phosphors with different morphologies, including precipitation method [17], sol-gel route [18], combustion synthesis [19], hydrothermal process [20], spray pyrolysis method [21], microemulsion method [22], chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique [23], and microwave assisted synthesis methods [24][25][26][27]. Among them, microwave assisted heating systems distinguished as quick, reproducible, simple, and energy efficient method with very short reaction times and higher yield of products.…”

Effect of NaOH molar concentration on optical and ferroelectric properties of ZnO nanostructures

“…In recent years, among the transition metal based oxides, the research on nanostructure zinc oxide (ZnO) has stimulated intensive interest due to its unique optical, magnetic, catalytic and mechanical properties different from bulk material and thus, potential applications in various fields of science and technology [1][2][3][4]. At nanoscale, ZnO crystals exhibit outstanding and surprising properties.…”

Nano-sized Y2O3:Eu3+ hollow spheres with enhanced photoluminescence properties

“…It has many advantages such as short decay time, high quantum efficiency, good color coordination, excellent stability and avoidance of hazardous constituents [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, many strategies have been developed to synthesize Y 2 O 3 :Eu 3+ materials including coprecipitation, combustion, spray pyrolysis, sol-gel and hydrothermal method [5][6][7][8][9]. Moreover the morphologies of this material were also tailored to manipulate its optical performance such as Y 2 O 3 :Eu 3+ film prepared through direct oxidation, nanobelts synthesized by solvothermal process and hexagonal microprisms fabricated through microwave-assisted method [10][11][12].…”
