“…Concerning the host matrix for these ions, there is a wide variety of materials such as silicates, aluminates, sulfides, oxides, phosphates, borates glasses, etc. [3][4][5][9][10][11][12][13] which have been doped with RE. These compounds, in general, are synthetized by different techniques such as spray pyrolysis [14], solvent evaporation [3][4][5], mechanochemical synthesis [15], soft chemical synthesis [16], solid state reaction at high temperatures in an inert atmosphere [6], vibrating milled solid-state reaction [17], coprecipitation method [18], etc.…”
