Abstract

Due to an efficient red emission, $Eu^{+3}$ ions have doped in various host materials. Eu-doped $LaPO_4/LaPO_4$ core/shell nanophosphor which emits red light in visible range, was synthesized by using a solution system. The mean size of the nanoparticle observed by TEM was about 7-8 nm. In this core/shell system, the thickness of $LaPO_4$ shell was optimized on the basis of relative PL emission intensity. In addition, the luminescent properties of $LaPO_4:Eu/LaPO_4$ core/shell particle have been compared with Eu-doped $LaPO_4$ bulk particle and nanoparticle.
