Abstract
This work reports the host (semiconductor nanoparticles) sensitized dopant (lanthanides, Ln) photoluminescence in near band gap matched Sn(Ln)O2 and Zn(Ln)S [Ln = Sm, Tb] nanoparticles to address the importance of the nanoparticle identity and absolute band gap in the underlying process. While the sensitization was evident in the Sn(Sm)O2 and Zn(Tb)S nanoparticles, the same was not observed in the Sn(Tb)O2 and Zn(Sm)S nanoparticles. This observation stresses the importance of nanoparticle identity as the determining factor in realizing the host-sensitized dopant photoluminescence and provides important insight into developing novel doped inorganic nanoparticle-based optical materials. © 2017 American Chemical Society.
