In order to check this aspect, these nanomaterials are doped with representative lanthanide<br />

ion namely the Eu 3+ and their luminescence properties are described in the following section.<br />

6.3. Effect of metal ion on luminescence of MWO 4 :Eu 3+ nanoparticles: Emission spectra<br />

of Eu 3+ doped MWO 4 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) nanoparticles excited at 270 nm is given in the<br />

Fig.108 (a). It consists of four peaks at 590, 615, 650 and 700 nm and are attributed to 5 D 0 Æ<br />

7 F 1 , 5 D 0 Æ 7 F 2 , 5 D 0 Æ 7 F 3 and 5 D 0 Æ 7 F 4 transitions of Eu 3+ ions present in the lattice. The<br />

5 D 0 Æ 7 F 2 transition is electric dipole allowed transition. It is hypersensitive and is highly<br />

dependent on the symmetry around the Eu 3+ ion. Unlike this, 5 D 0 Æ 7 F 1 transition is a<br />

magnetic dipole allowed transition and is independent of the symmetry around Eu 3+ ion in the<br />
