摘要
ZrO2Eu3+-SiO2 and ZnO-SiO2 composites have been synthesized by a sol-gel method by using a specific gelation and drying procedure. In the two cases we were able to produce large and transparent monolithic samples. Microstructural properties of these materials were investigated by thermo-differential and thermo-gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering. The existence of a miscibility gap in both systems results in the formation of nanocomposites where crystallized zirconia or amorphous zinc oxide nanoparticles are dispersed in a silica glass matrix. These two kinds of nanocomposites are potential high efficiency luminescent materials because the nanoparticles size is easily controlled by the annealing conditions. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
