Enhancing optical properties of Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+ by cost-effective silica-based photonic crystals

Enhanced luminescence of a silica‐nitride phosphor; La3Si6N11:Ce3+by using Cr3+‐activated TiO2 nanoparticles

“…Alternatively, the preparation of binary mixtures of the phosphors with the nanoscale light harvesting materials may exhibit promising spectral results. However, such kind of studies are rare and include the utilization of nanoscale hematite, iodine‐decorated hematite, 17 ZnO or CuO particles, 18 and silica photonic crystals, 19 in form of phosphor blends in optically transparent polymeric matrices. In this work, we intended to investigate the excitation–emission behavior of the binary blends of the La 3 Si 6 N 11 :Ce 3+ with the light harvesting materials of TiO 2 and Cr 3+ ‐doped TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) in a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) matrix.…”
