Good impedance matching is vital in upgrading the performance of electromagnetic (EM)
wave-absorbing materials. In this study, Si 3 N 4/SiO 2/SiC–Y 2 Si 2 O 7 composite ceramics …

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a unique technique to synthesize thin films, in which a
target is ablated by scanning a laser beam throughout its surface. Over other methods, PLD …

Nanocrystalline yttrium oxide (Y2O3) thin films were made by sputter deposition onto silicon
(100) substrates keeping the deposition temperature fixed at 300° C. The surface/interface …

Scintillation fibers based on rare-earth ion-doped crystal materials have attracted significant
attention for applications in a wide range of areas from security to healthcare. However, the …

Abstract Thin films of Lu 2 Si 2 O 7: Eu 3+ were prepared via sol-gel methods and dip
coating using lutetium nitrate and (3-Glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane as precursors, and …

Luminescence properties of CaF2: Tb3+ nanoparticles were studied in order to investigate
the effect of CaF2 native defects on the photoluminescence dynamics of Tb3+ ions …

In this research YVO 4: Dy 3+ luminescent material was synthesized via a facile and one-
step solid state method at 1100° C. Then the effects of spherical and irregular SiO 2 particles …
