Abstract:
A model system consisting of Eu(3+) as the activator ion and BaZrO(3) as the host lattice is employed to demonstrate the potential of the vapor diffusion sol-gel method as a hydrolytic approach to the synthesis of fluorescent alkaline-earth perovskite oxide nanocrystals under ultrabenign conditions. The resulting nanocrystals are suitable precursors for nanostructured red-emitting phosphors.
