The current work involves studies of the synthesis, characterization and photoluminescence for Sm3+ (1-11 mol %) doped Bi2O3 nanophosphors (NPs) by a solution combustion method. The average particle size was determined using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and found to be in the range of 13- 30 nm....
