Yellow Emission from Low Coordination Site of Sr2SiO4:Eu2+, Ce3+: Influence of Lanthanide Dopants on the Electron Densit...

Published in Chemistry - A European Journal

Lanthanide doping through a crystal site engineering approach tunes the emission wavelength suitable for LED applications, but weak emission from low coordination sites remains a huge challenge. Herein the use of a sensitizer is reported to enhance the emission strength and unravel the crystallinity and phase, as this approach demands a large amoun...
