Enhancement of Sm<sup>3+</sup>emission by SnO<sub>2</sub>nanocrystals in the silica matrix

<p>Abstract</p><p>Silica xerogels containing Sm<sup>3+</sup>ions and SnO<sub>2</sub>nanocrystals were prepared in a sol&#8211;gel process. The image of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that the SnO<sub>2</sub>nanocrystals are disp...
