Excitation Induced Tunable Emission in Ce3+/Eu3+ Codoped BiPO4 Nanophosphors by Sarabjot Singh, G. Lakshminarayana, Manoj Sharma, Thang Duy Dao, K. Chen, Yoshiki Wada, T. Takeda, T. Nagao

“…These results demonstrate that by appropriately tuning the excitation wavelength of these codoped nanophosphors the emission color in the visible region (blue and orange) can be flexibly controlled in a single sample without varying its chemical composition and size. The mechanism for this excitation energy dependent tunable emission is explained on the basis of nonenergy transfer (ET) occurring among Ce3+/Eu3+ dopant ions.…”
