X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, selected area electron diffraction （SAED）, high-resolution transmission electron micrographs （HRTEM） and photoluminescence （PL） spectra were employed to characterize the nanocrystals. The results of XRD indicated that the obtained samples crystallized well with a hexagonal phase crystal structure. SEM and TEM images demonstrated that the obtained CeF3：Tb3＋ nanocrystals had a discoid shapein the presence of ultrasound and IL, whereas only granular nanoparticles were obtained by magnetic stirring. The possible formation mechanisms of the crystal growth were proposed. The PL spectra of the CeF3：Tb3＋ nanodisks exhibited a strong green emission when excited at 254 nm. Furthermore, the photoluminescence intensity of CeF3：Tb3＋ of the discoid particles was largely improved com-pared with that of the granular nanoparticles.展开更多

The interaction of the doped ions with different concentrations and the luminescent properties of the nanocrystals and microcrystals were studied systematically. Their structure and morphology of Gd2O3：Eu3＋,Tb3＋phosphors were analyzed by means of X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron mi-croscopy （TEM） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The photoluminescence （PL） properties of Gd2O3：Eu3＋,Tb3＋phosphors were also systematically investigated. The results indicated that when the concentration of doped Eu3＋was fixed at 1 mol.%, the emis-sion intensity of Eu3＋ions was degenerating with Tb3＋content increasing, while when the Tb3＋content was fixed at 1 mol.%, the emission intensity of Tb3＋ions reached a maximum when the concentration of Eu3＋was 2 mol.%, implying that the energy transfer from Eu3＋to Tb3＋took place. In addition, Tb3＋could inspire blue-green light and the Eu3＋could inspire red light. Therefore co-doping systems by controlling the doping concentration and the hosts are the potential white emission materials.展开更多
