This thesis presents the study of energy transfer from Zinc Oxide Nanocrystals (ZnO-nc) to two different types of rare-earth (RE) ions, namely Europium (III) (Eu3+) and Terbium (III) (Tb3+) ions. RE ions, such as Eu3+ and Tb3+, are important materials which have been extensively studied for their ap...
