Eu3+/Tb3+ doped cubic BaGdF5 multifunctional nanophosphors: Multicolor tunable luminescence, energy transfer and magnetic properties

The cubic phase BaGdF5:Eu3+/Tb3+ sphere-like nanophosphors were prepared. Energy transfer mechanism, color-tunable emissions and magnetic properties of BaGdF5:Eu3+/Tb3+ have been studied, which could have promising applications in the fields of full-color displays, MRI and biomedical science, and so on.227
