| 摘要 |
A process is provided for producing substantially monodisperse phosphorescent oxide nanoparticles with rare earth element dopants uniformly dispersed therein, in-which a soluble salt of one or more oxide-forming host metals and a soluble salt of one or more rare earth elements are dissolved in a polar solvent in which the rare earth element salts are soluble to form a precursor solution; droplets of the solution having a particle size less than about 20 microns are suspended in an inert carrier gas; the carrier gas with droplets suspended therein is contacted with a flame fueled by a reactive gas; and the suspended droplets are uniformly heated in the flame to a reaction temperature sufficient to form active radicals that accelerate the formation of activated phosphorescent oxide nanoparticles with uniform rare earth ion distribution. Rare earth doped monodisperse activated cubic phase phosphorescent oxide nano-particles are also disclosed.
