Nanoparticles of cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG:Ce3+) phosphors were synthesized by a nonhydrolytic solvothermal method yielding particle sizes less than 10 nm. Oleic acid and oleylamine effectively capped the nanoparticles during the synthesis and allowed crystallization of garnet to tak...
