Impact of yttria stabilization on Tb super(3+) intra-shell luminescence efficiency in zirconium dioxide nanopowders

This paper reports the observation of Tb super(3+) 4f-4f emission gain in ZrO sub(2) nanocrystals stabilized by Y sub(2)O sub(3) as the amount of stabilizer increases from 0% to 10% mol. The nanocrystals were obtained via microwave solvothermal technology. The photoluminescence properties of as-grow...

Description
Summary:This paper reports the observation of Tb super(3+) 4f-4f emission gain in ZrO sub(2) nanocrystals stabilized by Y sub(2)O sub(3) as the amount of stabilizer increases from 0% to 10% mol. The nanocrystals were obtained via microwave solvothermal technology. The photoluminescence properties of as-grown samples are investigated. The possibility of biological applications of the material is tested on living organisms (mice). The result indicates the potential use of the studied material as a luminescent nanomarker.
