Experimental results of polymer-salt synthesis of Yb:YAG nanopowders and analysis of their structure and luminescent properties are presented. Infrared absorption spectra of synthesized materials are presented. The results of XRD analysis show that Yb:YAG nanocrystals with sizes of 18-35 nm form at a temperature of 900-1100 °С. The study on photoluminescence spectra and decay curves shows that properties of synthesized powders are close to properties of macroscopic materials produced by traditional high-temperature methods.
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.
