Photoluminescent properties of Sm3+ and Tb3+ codoped CaWO4 nanoparticles obtained by a one-step sonochemical method

Synthesis of weakly-agglomerated luminescent CaWO4:Nd3+ particles by modified Pechini method

“…This is well demonstrated by methods such as solid-phase synthesis [7], mechanochemical synthesis [8], and deposition from aqueous solutions [9]. Weak agglomeration is observed in powders synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis [10], laser ablation [11], sonochemical method [12], and sol-gel synthesis [13]. In such a way, finding a balance between synthesis parameters for providing high CSR size and low particles agglomeration is a topical task for the creation of oxide higher-melting-point nanoparticles (NPs).…”
