Ceramic samples of tantalo-niobates solid solutions with yttrium and gadolinium cations (RE(NbxTa1-x)O4, RE = Y or Gd, and x=0÷1) have been obtained by solid-state synthesis. Luminescence properties of yttrium and gadolinium tantalo-niobates under X-ray and synchrotron radiation, UV and VUV radiation have been studied in visible and UV spectral regions. The luminescence mechanisms in yttrium and gadolinium tantalo-niobates have been determined as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
