Abstract

Single crystals of Ln(NO3)3·Bpy2 where Ln = Eu, Gd, Nd, Tm, Er, La and Yb were fabricated and characterized. Materials have good optical quality, can be excited at UV or the rare earth ion transitions, demonstrate efficient luminescence and are suitable for thin film fabrication. Fabrication approaches and possible applications are discussed.
