Nanocrystalline phosphors based on yttrium oxide

Introduction

Yttrium oxide is an excellent host lattice for doping with the luminescence active ions. The assortment of appropriate qualities and quantities of dopants allow to control the luminescence emission color and also excitation spectra, selecting them for a given application. Yttrium oxide based luminophore materials exhibit high intensity of luminescence, high resistance to extreme chemical and thermal conditions. Yttrium oxide prepared in IPPAS exhibits the luminescence emission in visible region.

Essentials:

• High intensity of luminescence
• High chemical and thermal resistance
• Narrow grain size distribution
• Phase purity
• Bioinert material
• Controllable luminescence emission color

Applications

Material offers excellent application potential in medical diagnosis and therapy.
