Eu-doped amorphous gehlenite phosphors with various morphologies were synthesized using spray pyrolysis. Along with un-treated precursor, two commonly used pore-forming agents, polyethylene glycol and hydrogen peroxide, were applied to achieve porous and hollow particle structures. The phase compositions, surface morphologies, inner structures and photoluminescence properties of the resulting phosphors were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence spectrometry. The results showed that the morphologies of the particles were well-controlled, and a correlation between morphology and photoluminescence properties was established.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a semiconductor with a wide range of applications, and often the properties are modified by metal-ion doping. The distribution of dopant atoms within the ZnO crystal strongly affects the optical and magnetic properties, making it crucial to comprehend the structure down to the atomic level. Our study reveals the dopant structure and its contents in Eu-doped ZnO nanosponges with up to 20% Eu-O clusters.

We report a joint high-pressure experimental and theoretical study of the structural, vibrational, and photoluminescent properties of pure and Eu-doped cubic YO nanoparticles with two very different average particle sizes. We compare the results of synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, and photoluminescence measurements in nanoparticles with ab initio density-functional simulations in bulk material with the aim to understand the influence of the average particle size on the properties of pure and doped YO nanoparticles under compression. We observe that the high-pressure phase behavior of YO nanoparticles depends on the average particle size, but in a different way to that previously reported.

All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, and I) have recently emerged as a new promising class of X-ray scintillators. However, the instability of perovskite QDs and the strong optical scattering of the thick opaque QD scintillator film imped it to realize high-quality and robust X-ray image. Herein, the europium (Eu) doped CsPbBr QDs are in situ grown inside transparent amorphous matrix to form glass-ceramic (GC) scintillator with glass phase serving as both matrix and encapsulation for the perovskite QD scintillators.

Nanoparticles (NPs) that can provide additional functionality to the nanoagents derived from them, , cytotoxicity or imaging abilities, are in high demand in modern nanotechnology. Here, we report new spindle-like iron oxide nanoparticles doped with Eu that feature magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrasting properties together with shape-related cytotoxicity (unusual for such low 2.4% Eu content).
