Impact of crystallinity and local disorder on the luminescence properties of solvothermally synthesized LuPO<sub>4</sub>:Pr<sup>3+</sup> nanocrystals
Annealing LuPO 4 :Pr 3+ nanocrystals reduces local disorder and structural imperfections, enabling efficient energy transfer under deep high-energy excitation (45 eV photons), thereby enhancing UV-C luminescence for potential use in radiotherapy.
