Abstract

Europium complex nanoclusters are introduced into monodisperse colloidal silica spheres by a modified Stöber method. Transmission electron microscopy measurements confirm that the hybrid spheres possess smooth surface and core-shell structure. The hybrid spheres display strong characteristic luminescence of the Eu3+ ions. Furthermore they exhibit an improved thermal stability compared with the pure rare earth (RE) complex.
