Na(Gd,RE)(WO4)2 double tungstates (RE=Eu/Yb-Er): crystallization from a novel layered hydroxide precursor and favorable luminescence for optical thermometry

Rare earth double tungstates Na(Gd,RE)(WO4)2 (RE = Eu/Yb-Er) were successfully obtained from layered rare earth hydroxide precursors via sacrificial reaction at 200°C with molar ratio WO42-/RE3+ = ...
