BN tubular layer-sheathed CaS:Eu(2+) nanowires as stable red-light-emitting nanophosphors.
Novel chemically stable CaS:Eu(2+) nanowires protected by BN tubular sheaths were synthesized via a one-step and catalyst-free method for the first time; the nanostructures showed a red-light emission when excited by approximately 450 nm blue light.
