The nanostructured Eu3+ doped La2O3 is characterized by x-ray diffraction studies, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The emission spectrum shows transitions from the excited 5D(0) state to F-7(J) (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) levels of the Eu3+ ion. The most intense peak around 611 nm is due to the D-5(0) -&amp;gt; F-7(2) transition, expected from the Judd-Ofelt selection rules. PL spectra measurements demonstrate that the lanthanum oxide nanowhisker shows higher PL intensity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.772</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
