Cerium and europium codoped yttrium aluminum garnet(YAG:Ce,Eu) nanophosphors were prepared by sol-gel method.We systematically explored the structure,composition,morphology and photoluminescence(PL) properties by using X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscope,high resolution transmission electron microscope,energy dispersive spectrometer,photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra techniques,and focused on clarifying the change of local structure surrounding Ce^3+ ions by utilizing advanced quantitative ^27Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.The results show that the lattice constant slightly increases as the Ce^3+ and Eu^3+ ions incorporate,and the geometric distortion of local structure surrounding Ce^(3+) activator introduced by the incorporated Eu^(3+) coactivator causes the variation of crystal field,which results in red shift of Ce^3+ PL emitting in YAG:Ce,Eu nanophosphor.Furthermore,the YAG:Ce,Eu nanophosphors could exhibit several sharp and narrow ^5D0 → ^7FJ(J = 1-4) emissions of Eu^3+ ion besides the classic broad ^5d1 → ^4f(^2F(5/2),^2F(7/2)) emissions of Ce^3+ ion under near ultraviolet(UV) excitation.
A series of Au/[NiCo/Bi]x/Au (x = 2, 3) films were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition method. In order to induce the in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (IPUMA) of the multifilms, multiple layers and different oblique angles ranging from 0° to 30° for the substrate are applied during the deposition. The microstructures of the nanofilms were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electronic microscope (TEM). And their magnetic properties were measured by an alternating gradient magnetometer. For the multicycle systems, using the method that with more periodic structures of NiCo/Bi film is easier for inducing IPUMA than the less or the samples located with various angles.
