Silica glasses containing both ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and luminescent lanthanide ions are attractive candidates to develop new lighting displays, sensor devices or laser emitters. This work reports an easy sol–gel method prepare Eu3+-doped Eu3+,Mn2+-codoped nanocrystals dispersed in a transparent silica matrix. Semiconductor with average size of 5–6 nm exhibiting cubic hexagonal phases were obtained at low temperature. The interactions between QDs, Eu3+ Mn2+ provided materials different...
Eu3+-Doped CdS hexagonal nanocrystals (NCs), with an average size of ∼4 nm, have been prepared through a simple methodology based on the direct precipitation NCs using 1-thioglycerol as capping molecule. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence studies (14–300 K) reveal effective NCs-to-Eu3+ energy transfer process involving surface localized states mediated by thermally activated exchange mechanism. Furthermore, analysis optical data also points out presence two distinct Eu3+ local...
Materials doped with the luminescent Eu3+ ion are attracting an ever-increasing amount of attention due to their potential applications in solid-state lighting, display devices, solar cells, or bioanalytics. But, why Eu3+? Unlike other lanthanides, its electronic features make calculation some physicochemical parameters quite straightforward, since they can be extracted directly from emission spectrum. Highly appreciated for reddish emission, has also been widely used as a site-sensitive...

In recent years, complex nanocomposites formed by Ag nanoparticles coupled to an α-Ag2WO4 semiconductor network have emerged as promising bactericides, where the attracts bacterial agents and neutralize them. However, production rate of such materials has been limited transmission electron microscope processing, making it difficult cross barrier from basic research real applications. The interaction between pulsed laser radiation revealed a new processing alternative scale up nanocomposite...
In this work, a series of BaxMn0.7Cu0.3O3 samples (x: 1, 0.9, 0.8, and 0.7, BxMC) was synthesized, characterized, used as catalysts for CO oxidation reaction.
