Composite Nanostructures for the Production of White Light
In this work, two different composite nanostructures, YAG:Ce and Ga<sub>0.9</sub>In<sub>0.1</sub>N, were prepared by the Urea Glass Route method and tested for the production of white light. The first composite was prepared by synthetizing the Ga<sub>0.9</sub>In<sub>0.1</sub>N nanoparticles in the presence of YAG:Ce nanoparticles. The second one was prepared by synthetizing YAG:Ce nanoparticles in the presence of Ga<sub>0.9</sub>In<sub>0.1</sub>N nanoparticles. These systems can be useful for the production of white light. X-ray Diffraction and Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopies (TEM and SEM) were used to evaluate their structural and morphological properties. Excitation and emission spectra, the quantum yield and colour of the emitted light were acquired to evaluate the optical properties of the systems.
