“…The excitation spectrum exhibited numerous peaks at 302, 325, 351, 365, 388, 427, 453, and 476 nm accredited to transitions initiated from 6 H 15/2 to the higher energy levels, 4 H 11/2 + 4 G 9/2 , 6 P 3/2 , 6 P 7/2 , 6 P 5/2 , 4 F 7/2 , 4 G 11/2 , 4 I 15/2 , and 4 F 9/2 respectively. [ 37–40 ] In particular, a dominant band ( 6 H 15/2 → 6 P 7/2 ) was observed at 351 nm. The PL spectrum of the La 1‐x AlO 3 :xDy 3+ (x = 0.01–0.07) nanophosphor was recorded at the λ ex of 351 nm.…”
