Structural and optical properties of dysprosium and europium co-doped with yttrium aluminium garnet nanocrystalline powders prepared by combustion synthesis

This paper presents the study on synthesized yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), europium-doped YAG (YAG: Eu), and europium and dysprosium co-doped YAG (YAG: Eu, Dy) phosphors prepared by combustion synthesis (CS) using a mixture of fuel (urea). The effects of Eu3+ and Dy3+ ions concentration and anneali...
