Eu3+ as a marker for formation of core-shell system: YVO4:SiO2

Eu3+ doped in core and shell (YVO4:SiO2) nanoparticles show luminescence peaks corresponding to magnetic and electric dipole transitions of Eu3+. When Eu3+ ions occupy Y3+ sites, Eu3+ ions are surrounded by eight O2− ions, which is highly asymmetric (D2d). This asymmetric environment can be used to...
