Abstract
Eu3+-doped RE2O3 (RE = Gd, Y and La) phosphors were prepared by solvothermal reaction method and their crystalline structure, phase transformation and surface morphologies were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The obtained RE2O3:Eu3+ phosphors are nanocrystalline-sized. The luminescence properties of Eu3+ ions in different host materials, namely, Gd2O3, Y2O3 and La2O3 have been investigated. PACS number: 32.50.+d, 78.55.-m, 81.40.Tv.

Keywords: Gd2O3: Eu3+, Y2O3: Eu3+, La2O3: Eu3+, Nanophosphors, Solvothermal
