Abstract:
Core-shell-structured La2O3:Eu3+-La2Sn2O7 nanoparticles were fabricated through SnO2-coating of LaOF:Eu3+ in an aqueous solution and subsequent heat treatments at a higher temperature. The nanoparticles exhibited high chemical stability under an ambient atmosphere and intense red photoluminescence upon irradiation with ultraviolet light.
