Abstract
In this review, we deal with the structural properties of the garnet family of phosphor materials activated with trivalent lanthanide ions in the nano-crystalline materials. The interest is devoted the important garnet hosts: structure and luminescence spectroscopy are presented and discussed with particular meanings given to the possibility of achieving efficiently luminescence from trivalent lanthanide ions at the nano-level and to the potential and predicted technological applications of this class of materials.
