The trivalent europium ion (Eu 3+) is well known for its strong luminescence in the red
spectral region, but this ion is also interesting from a theoretical point of view. Due to the …

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 …

Bi-doped compounds recently became the subject of an extensive research due to their
possible applications as scintillator and phosphor materials. The oxides co-doped with Bi3+ …

Bi 3+–Ln 3+(Ln= Dy, Er, Ho, Eu, and Sm) co-doped YVO 4 phosphors are proposed as UV-
absorbing luminescent converter candidate to enhance the power conversion efficiency and …

Near-ultraviolet and visible excitable Eu-and Bi-doped NPs based on rare earth vanadates
(REVO4, RE= Y, Gd) have been synthesized by a facile route from appropriate RE …

Bi3+/Ln3+: YVO4 nanocrystals with a mean size of 6 nm are prepared through a mixed
solvothermal route. With Bi3+ doping, the excitation band corresponding to the Ln3+ …

Steady-state and time-resolved emission and excitation spectra and the luminescence
decay kinetics are studied in the 4.2–500 K temperature range for the blue intrinsic emission …

The ultraviolet (UV) light stability of silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells should be
addressed before large-scale production and applications. Introducing downshifting (DS) …

This paper reports the enhanced red photoluminescence from a Eu 3+ doped BiVO 4 nano-
phosphor synthesized through solution combustion method. The XRD and TEM …

In this work, preparation of cereal-like architectures YVO 4 and YVO 4: Ln 3+(Ln= Eu, Sm,
Dy, Tb) was initiated using a hydrothermal method. During the formation reaction, Na 3 C 6 …
