Bentonitic clays, currently in use in over hundred areas, are among the most important industrial raw materials. In most of the cases, bentonites predominantly consist of montmorillonite which is a 2:1 layer clay mineral formed by one alumina octahedral sheet placed between two silica tetrahedral sheets. Three bentoni…

We investigated the emission property of SrZrO3 nano-crystals (NCs) with the doping of rare earth (RE) ions, Eu3+ and Tm3+, by using 325 nm photo-excitation. SrZrO3 NCs show a sizable violet-blue emission, while the Eu3+ and Tm3+ ions are well known to be good red and blue phosphors, respectively. Combined emissions o…
