Luminescence and magnetic behaviour of almond like (Na0.5La0.5)MoO4:RE3+ (REÂ =Â Eu, Tb, Dy) nanostructures

Monodispersed almond-like (Na0.5La0.5)MoO4:RE3+ nanostructures synthesized by employing ethylene-diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) using hydrothermal route at 200 °C for 24 h. These nanoparticles were found to be novel bi-functional candidates suitable for high-quality luminescence and magnetic applications.
