Abstract:
Monodisperse iO$_2$/Lu$_{1.86}$Eu$_{0.14}$O$_3$ core-shell heteroparticles have been obtained using a method developed previously for the synthesis of spherical colloidal particles of silicon dioxide with a size spread of 2–2.5%, followed by the coprecipitation of europium-doped lutetium oxide nanocoating on these spheres. The structure of heteroparticles was studied and their photo- and cathodoluminescence spectra were analyzed. The luminescence decay time in heteroparticles is almost twice that in Lu$_{1.86}$Eu$_{0.14}$O$_3$ phosphor powder prepared and treated under the same thermal conditions.
