In this study, a series of Eu 3+-doped Ba 2 Tb 8 (SiO 4) 6 O 2 red-emitting phosphors were
developed by using a conventional solid-state reaction technique. The crystalline structure …

The present work reports the synthesis of elongated Au nanoparticles (NPs) parallel to each
other, embedded in silica matrix. Au NPs in silica, prepared using rf magnetron sputtering …

We examined the mechanism whereby nanoparticles of gold embedded in silica become
elongated and oriented parallel to each other on ion irradiation. Elongation occurred for gold …
