“…DP has attracted the attention of materials scientists due to its technological applications in the field of phosphors, biomaterials, coatings, nuclear waste immobilization, sealing materials in solid oxide fuel cells etc. DP shows high biocompatibility, bioactivity and fracture toughness which are very useful in biomaterial field 1 and high luminescent efficiency 2 , high thermal stability, chemical stability, better sinterability, and other unusual properties. Various methods are employed to produce nano crystalline DP powders like solid state 3 , sol gel method 4 , precipitation 5 etc, which are time and energy consuming, and have limitation when applied to bulk synthesis.…”
