Correction: Preferential site substitution of Eu3+ ions in Ca10(PO4)6Cl2 nanoparticles obtained usinga microwave stimulated wet chemistry technique

“In accordance with the rule of 2J + 1 at Cs symmetry a maximum of five sublevels should be present for the 5D0 → 7F1 andeight in the case of the 5D0 → 7F2 transitions whereas at C3 symmetry the 5D0 → 7F1 splits into two and the 5D0 → 7F2 into threeStark components.”Should have read:In accordance with the rule of 2J + 1 at Cs symmetry a maximum of three sublevels should be present for the 5D0 → 7F1 andfive in the case of the 5D0 → 7F2 transitions whereas at C3 symmetry the 5D0 → 7F1 splits into two and the 5D0 → 7F2 into threeStark components.The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.2780 |
