Europium-doped Lu2O3 nanocrystalline powders with Eu concentrations of 1−13 m/0 were prepared via a combustion route. Their morphology was determined with TEM measurements. It was found that the sizes of nanocrystallites were around 10−13 nm. These powders were sintered at 1700 °C into tablets whose grains were a few micrometers wide. Absorption and emission spectra of all materials were measured. Pronounced changes of UV absorption bands with increasing concentration were observed in the case of nanoparticulate powders. The Eu emission lifetimes of nanopowders demonstrated significant concentration quenching. No such effect was observed for the sintered materials up to 13 m/0 of Eu. A strong decrease of the emission rise time with rising Eu concentration was found for both types of the material at room temperature. At the temperature of liquid nitrogen, the longest rise time in the case of nanomaterials (∼110 μs) was found for a sample containing 5% of Eu, whereas for the sintered ceramics, the behavior ...
