The nearly dormant field of persistent luminescence has gained fresh impetus after the
discovery of strontium aluminate persistent luminescence phosphor in 1996. Several efforts …

Electrodeposition of inorganic compound thin films in the presence of certain organic
molecules results in self‐assembly of various hybrid thin films with new properties …

Defect influences on the photoactivity of ZnO nanoparticles prepared by a powdered
coconut water (ACP) assisted synthesis have been studied. The crystalline phase and …

Health problems related to UV radiation can be minimized by the appropriate use of
sunscreens. Different kinds of sunscreens are reported in the literature, even though there is …

The energy levels and local structures of Eu3+ incorporated in the lattice and surface sites of
ZnO nanocrystals were investigated based on the high-resolution fluorescence spectra at 10 …

Monodisperse ZnO: Eu nanocrystals were prepared by the codecomposition of metal
acetylacetonate precursors in a mixture of oleylamine and 1-octadecene. They have been …

Nanoparticles of Eu 3+ doped Y 2 O 3 (core) and Eu 3+ doped Y 2 O 3 covered with Y 2 O 3
shell (core–shell) are prepared by urea hydrolysis for 3 h in ethylene glycol medium at a …

A method for simply and cheaply preparing inorganic phosphor nanoparticles of Eu2O3 as
labels in biology has been demonstrated with a simple microwave-assisted surface …

The peak of the luminescence spectrum of zinc oxide (ZnO) is usually observed above 500
nm (yellow region). By in‐situ growth of ZnO nanoparticles in a poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) …

The present study, focused on the sol− gel synthesis of rare-earth-doped zinc oxide,
highlights the crucial points involved in the design and development of ZnO/Eu nanosystems …
