Hydrothermal Synthesis and Tunable Multicolor Upconversion Emission of Cubic Phase Y2O3 Nanoparticles

Highly crystalline body-centered cubic structure Y2O3 with lanthanide (Ln) codopants (Ln = Yb3+/Er3+ and Yb3+/Ho3+) has been synthesized via a moderate hydrothermal method in combination with a subsequent calcination. The structure and morphology of Y(OH)3 precursors and Y2O3 nanoparticles were char...
