Synthesis and Downconversion Emission Property of Yb2O3:Eu3+ Nanosheets and Nanotubes

Synthesis and Downconversion Emission Property of Yb2O3:Eu3+ Nanosheets and Nanotubes

Ytterbium oxide (Yb2O3) nanocrystals with different Eu3+ (1%, 2%, 5%, and 10%) doped concentrations were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method, subsequently by calcination at 700°C. The crystal phase, size, and morphology of prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and tr...
