Title: | Synthesis & optical properties of novel rare earth-doped aluminate nanophosphors | Authors: | Su, Liap Tat | Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Materials::Photonics and optoelectronics materials | Issue Date: | 2008 | Source: | Su, L. T. (2008). Synthesis & optical properties of novel rare earth-doped aluminate nanophosphors. Doctoral thesis, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. | Abstract: | The potential of rare earth doped nanophosphors makes them appealing for a myriad of important applications such as white light emitting diodes (LEDs), displays, lasers, fluorescent labels, and solar cells. While the preparation of rare earth doped nanophosphors is a challenging task, it is technologically beneficial to produce nanoscale phosphors and to understand their size-dependent optical properties in order to support more opportunities for new applications. Currently, cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG: Ce3+) is the most complex oxide and its unique optical property makes it an ideal material for this study. However, there are problems in synthesizing the YAG: Ce3+ nanophosphors, especially the lacking in an approach to produce the nanophosphor with a size of less than 10 nm, and furthermore, not much is known about its size-dependent optical properties like the coupling strength of an electron-lattice relaxation. This study aims to synthesize highly crystalline YAG: Ce3+ nanophosphors with particle sizes targeted at less than 10 nm, 100 nm, and 300 nm and study the size effects on the optical properties of YAG: Ce3+. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/13536 | DOI: | 10.32657/10356/13536 | Schools: | School of Materials Science & Engineering | Fulltext Permission: | open | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
