Nanostructured (Y _1‐x Gd _x ) ₂ O ₃ : Eu ³⁺ Powders Obtained through Aerosol Synthesis

Aerosol route in Processing of Nanostructured Functional Materials

“…Moreover, a Pyrosol technique for thin film synthesis through aerosols is developed, too. Based on these techniques, the synthesis of fine, spherical, submicronic powders either in crystal or amorphous state based on oxides, metals and non-oxides have been processed as follows: ZnO 38,41,54,55) , ZnO-Pt(IV) 56) , ZnO-Ru(III) 57) ,, BaTiO3 42) , ZnO-Cr2O3 spinel 34) , Al2O3 based materials 58,59) , Ni, NiO 60) , SiC 61) , Q-TiO2 62) , nanocomposites Ag:(Bi,Pb)-2223) 15,63,64) , phosphors, Gd2O3: Eu 10,65,66,67) , Y2O3:Eu, (GdY)2O3:Eu 20,68,69) , Y3Al5O12: Ce 10,[70][71][72][73][74] , LiFePO4 75) . Those materials are applicable for electronics, optoelectronics, engineering ceramics, catalysts, biomaterials etc.…”
