Relation between material structure and photoluminescence properties in yttrium–aluminum borates phosphors
Glassy yttrium and aluminum borate powders (g-YAB) were synthesized by the polymeric precursor method (modified Pechini). We report here a detailed study of the structural, spectroscopic, and optical character...
