doped nanomaterials of the above mentioned systems, very few studies have been reported on<br />

the variation of synthesis conditions and the nature of precursor on the luminescence<br />

properties of the above nanomaterials. For example, GaOOH is a precursor material for<br />

Ga 2 O 3 nanomaterials. Understanding the morphology and luminescence properties of<br />

GaOOH prepared under different experimental conditions is essential for adapting the right<br />

synthesis procedure for making Ga 2 O 3 nanomaterials with required optical properties. This<br />

aspect is not properly addressed in previous studies. Similarly, in the case of Sb 2 O 3<br />

nanomaterials, effect of morphology on its luminescence properties is not known so far. This<br />

aspect is investigated in detail in the present work. Luminescence properties of hosts like<br />

SbPO 4 , BiPO 4 and GaPO 4 both undoped and doped with lanthanide ions are investigated for<br />

the first time with a view to develop new and robust phosphor materials having multi<br />

functional applications. Off late, considerable attention is paid to develop efficient blue light<br />

emitting nanomaterials for incorporating them in polymers and sol-gel films. Such polymers/<br />

sol-gel films are suitable candidates for the fabrication of economic and cheap white light<br />

display devices. Compounds like ZnGa 2 O 4 , CaWO 4 , etc. have host emission in the visible<br />

region over the range of 400-550 nm. Hence, it is expected that suitable modification in the<br />

synthesis procedure as well doping them with lanthanide ions can give efficient luminescent<br />

materials which can have multi colour emission. With this in mind, the luminescence<br />

properties of these nanomaterials have been investigated during the course of the present<br />

investigation.<br />
