Purest green! CePO 4 :Tb/LaPO 4 core/shell nanowires with enhanced green photoluminescence (PL) have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method (see the PL spectrum). The fact that lattice parameters of the LnPO 4 family are similar and that their crystal structures are identical is utilized to ensure that defects in the materials are minimized.
