“…Exchange interactions occur at <0.5 nm, whereas electric multilevel–multilevel interactions occur at a greater distance. The following equation can be used to calculate the critical distance ( R c ) between the Nd 3+ ions in (ZrO 2 ) 92 (Y 2 O 3 ) 8− x (Nd 2 O 3 ) x crystals: 41 where V is the volume of the single cell, N c is the number of sites, and X c is the critical ion concentration. Using the data in Fig.…”

“…4, R c is 1.628 nm for a Nd 2 O 3 concentration of 0.75 mol%, which is >0.5 nm, so the mechanism for Nd 3+ inter-ion interaction in this sample is of the electrical multilevel–multilevel type. 41…”
Transparent single crystals of (ZrO2)92(Y2O3)8-x(Nd2O3)x ( x=0.30, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50) were prepared by the optical floating zone method, and shown by XRD to have a cubic phase structure....

“…Luminescent materials are of increasing importance in the energy industry and have shown growing demand in intelligent sensor, security printing, solar cells, and other fields besides display lighting (Jiang et al, 2020a;Xing et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2020a;Zhou et al, 2017;Zhuo and Brgoch, 2021). The development of advanced luminescent materials has become a research hotspot.…”
“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In recent years, the use of fluorescent materials as optical thermometers has attracted considerable attention of researchers because of their advantages of non-contact, real-time measurement, high spatial resolution and high accuracy. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The contactless fluorescent temperature indicators overcome the shortcomings of traditional thermometers and are implemented far and wide in substances with small size or in harsh environment. 16,17 Generally speaking, the matrix materials for optical temperature measurement include nanorods, nanoparticles, core-shell particles, glass ceramics containing fluorine nanocrystals and oxide blocks.…”
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.
