Abstract:Solid-state bulk polymer hosts doped with rare earths are expected to play a central role in the development of future light-emitting diodes and photonic devices due to the superior properties of polymers. In this study, linear polyethylmethacrylate (PEMA) and crosslinked PEMA gels doped with CdNb 2 O 6 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ nanocrystal powders were synthesized by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization.Er 3+ /Yb 3+ ion structures embedded in PEMA polymers were investigated by the X-ray diffraction technique.
