    Correlation between zeta potential and electron paramagnetic resonance of thulium, europium co-doped yttria based suspensions
    2024 - SANTOS, S.C.; RODRIGUES JUNIOR, O.; CAMPOS, L.L.
    The formation of advanced ceramic components with homogeneous microstructure and functional characteristics demands a suitable control of particle dispersion. Thus, the characterization of particle stability as immersed in a liquid medium is important. The present paper reports an approach to evaluate the stability of europium, thulium co-doped yttria (YET) nanoparticles by a correlation between zeta potential and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) techniques. Based on results, YET suspensions exhibited high stability apart from pH 10, while their isoelectric point presented a slight variation from pHIEP 8.5 to 9.2 according to thulium content 0 and 2 at.%, respectively. The peak-to-peak amplitude of EPR spectra of the YET suspensions increased as pH shifted toward alkaline condition, following zeta potential curves features. The present achievements are very useful parameters to form stable suspensions based on rare-earth oxides and to advance toward new materials for radiation dosimetry.
