Drastic Ce3+ Insertion Enhancement in YAG Garnet Nanocrystals Through a Solvothermal Route

Y3Al5O12 (YAG) nanocrystals have been synthesized by a modified solvothermal method (300°C) allowing the incorporation of cerium ions in much larger proportion (up to 30 mol.% with respect to yttrium ions) than ever published. The reasons are the nanometric size of the produced nanocrystals, allowin...
