Popis: We report the optical spectra and lifetimes of nanocrystalline Eu3+ : Y2O3 as a function of particle diameter from 15 to 7 nm. As the particle size decreases, the spectra show increased line broadening and the emergence of a disordered phase. The 7-nm sample also contains cubic-phase material in addition to the monoclinic phase that is usually produced by the gas-phase-condensation synthesis. The 5 D 0 lifetimes increase by more than a factor of two when the particle size decreases from approximately 15–7 nm, with the decay transients becoming non-single exponential for the 13-nm and smaller particles.
