Popis: We report here a straightforward and rapid microwave?hydrothermal route providing an easy synthesis of Eu3+ doped La2O3 nanowhiskers. The nanostructured Eu3+ doped La2O3 is characterized by x-ray diffraction studies, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The emission spectrum shows transitions from the excited 5D0 state to 7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) levels of the Eu3+ ion. The most intense peak around 611?nm is due to the 5D0 ? 7F2 transition, expected from the Judd?Ofelt selection rules. PL spectra measurements demonstrate that the lanthanum oxide nanowhisker shows higher PL intensity.
