Abstract
Nanoparticles of wide band gap compounds, when doped with rare earth or transition metal ions, are perspective candidates for efficient phosphors in a new generation of light sources for an overhead illumination, i.e., in compact fluorescence lamps and in semiconductor-based white light emitting diodes. Mechanisms of emission enhancement in doped nanoparticles are discussed based on the relevant experimental results. Mechanisms observed are due to carrier confinement, n-type co-doping, due to surface plasmons generation and super radiance.
