Facile Synthesis and Optical Applications of Ceramic Nanophosphors

摘要

Facile wet synthesis methods for nanocrystalline rare earth doped oxide ceramics ZrO{sub}2, YAG, Y{sub}2O{sub}3, and BaZrO{sub}3 is presented. Visible emission under UV and NIR excitation is observed in all nanophosphors. Scintillating as well as dosimeter properties of ZrO{sub}2 and YAG are reported.
