Ultra-long YCe x O y :Eu 3+ nanowire arrays(NWAs) have been synthesized in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates by chemical co-deposition at negative pressure suction, which are amorphous, and possess precise dimension and homogeneous morphologies. The SEM, TEM, XRD and EDS were employed to investigate the morphology, structure and elemental composition of YCe x O y :Eu 3+ NWAs. The fluorescence properties of the YCe x O y :Eu 3+ NWAs were measured by fluorescence spectrometer (PerkinElmer LS-55) using Xenon discharge lamp as the excitation light source. There are two emission peaks at 615 nm and 702 nm with excitation wavelength of 394 nm, which corresponds to the 5 D 0 - 2 F 2 and 5 D 0 - 7 F 4 energy level transition of Eu 3+ , respectively. The fluorescence intensity of YCe x O y :Eu 3+ NWAs is related to the doping concentration of Eu 3+ ion, which reaches a maximum with doping concentration of Eu 3+ at 8%, and remarkably decreases at higher concentrations. Ce 3+ ion dominates the fluorescence activation in YCe x O y :Eu 3+ NWAs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
