Abstract Lanthanides (Ln 3+) are a unique class of optical materials and are extensively
used as building blocks for optoelectronic device architectures due to their outstanding …

Bismuth is a non-toxic posttransition metal with a large number of possible valence states
which, together with to its tendency to form clusters, make it a versatile but complex dopant …

In this work, Eu-doped, Tb-doped and Eu, Tb-codoped Y 2 O 3 nanophosphors were
synthesized by the combustion synthesis method. The prepared phosphors were …

YVO4: Ln3+ (Ln3+= Dy3+, Eu3+) nanoparticles show red shift in V–O charge transfer (CT)
