Narrow Results

In this work, calcium silicate nanophosphors (CaSiO₃) doped with Sm${}^{3+}$ ions were prepared at $900^{\circ }$C by a simple solution combustion synthesis technique. The particle size, functional groups and morphology of the prepared phosphors were identified by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The monoclinic phase of the nanophosphors was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The effective excitation of the nanophosphors near the UV region and their yellow emission were confirmed by photoluminescence studies.

In this study, ${\mathrm{\text{Eu}}}^{3+}$-doped yttrium oxide nanophosphors were prepared using the hydrothermal method assisting with the polyacrylic acid (PAA), phenol formaldehyde resin precursor (PF), and gum arabic (GA), respectively and their structural and optical properties were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the samples can be well indexed to the cubic structure. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the samples were different morphologies, via combining with different templates. The luminescence results revealed that the addition of templates have a significant influence on the luminescence properties of ${\mathrm{\text{Eu}}}^{3+}$-doped ${\mathrm{\text{Y}}}_2{\mathrm{\text{O}}}_3$.
