Bi3+ and lanthanide ions have been codoped in metal oxides as optical sensitizers and
emitters. But such codoping is not known in typical semiconductors such as Si, GaAs, and …

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) represent a new class of fluorophores. Both the
excitation and (anti-Stokes) emission wavelengths are in the long wave part of the spectrum …

Abstract Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) was initially stated in 1970 as obtained from planned
carbon filaments and has stimulated intensely among various applications. Development of …

Lead‐free halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with the unique optical properties are of
interest for broad applications. There are a few studies on near‐infrared (NIR) emission in …

The investigation of luminescent lanthanide doped nanostructures (LDNs) has attracted a
great deal of interest in the last decades. This is a multidisciplinary research field in which …

The modern energy crisis has recently prompted researchers to seek alternatives. In this
context, using electrochemical energy resources for energy conversion and storage drew …

Erbium doped zinc oxide (ZnO: Er) powder was synthesized by hydrothermal growth. The
morphology changed from undoped nanorods to microrods. The effect of Er doping on …

A cutting-edge approach has been attempted in the present work to develop two stable
phases of samarium gallium oxide as functional materials in the form of energy storage …

The effect of hydrogen and oxygen plasma treatment has been studied in erbium doped zinc
oxide (ZnO: Er) nano-and microrods synthesized by the hydrothermal growth. It has been …

The luminescent properties of three nanocrystalline samples of Y 2 O 3: Er 3+ produced via
PVA-assisted sol-gel route, with mean particle diameter of 21, 44 and 86 nm, were …
