ZnO nanophosphors prepared by a glycol mediated chemical synthesis exhibit afterglow (AG) and thermoluminescence (TL) after excitation with beta rays. These properties, which are of great interest in dose assessment of ionizing radiation fields, could be appreciably modified by Yb doping. Concentration of 1, 2 and 5% diminished the AG and TL efficiency and modified the TL glow curve shape significantly. However, the 5% Yb doping concentration reduced the AG and TL fading behavior, improving the use of ZnO:Yb (5%) as potential TL ionizing radiation dosimeter.

This work explores the thermoluminescence (TL) and photoluminescence (PL) properties of Ag/Y co-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanophosphor. The proposed dosimeter was prepared by the coprecipitation method and sintered at temperatures from 400°C to 1000°C in an air atmosphere. Raman spectroscopy was studied to investigate the structural features of this composition.

This study involves the single-step, mass-scale productive synthesis, photoconduction, and luminescence characteristics of pure and cerium rare-earth-ion-doped ZnO (CZO) nanophosphors with different Ce concentrations (Ce: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) synthesized using the solid-state reaction method. The synthesized nanophosphors were characterized for their structural, morphological, optical, and photoconductivity (PC) properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-effect scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), photoluminescence (PL), and PC measurements.

In this study, a series of well-crystallized Yb/Er/Tm-tridoped YO-ZnO ceramic nano-phosphors were prepared using sol-gel synthesis, and the phosphor structures were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The phosphors were well crystallized and exhibited a sharp-edged angular crystal structure and mesoporous structure consisting of 270 nm nano-particles. All phosphors generated blue, green, and red emission bands attributed to Tm: G→H, Er: H (S)→I, and Er: F→I radiative transitions, respectively.
