Abstract: The synthesis of [Ce.sup.3+]-doped yttrium aluminum garnet nanophosphors with sizes near 30 and 250 nm is reported. The results from the size-dependent electron-longitudinal-optical-phonon coupling show that the coupling strength decreased from the bulk material to the nanophosphors of much smaller sizes.
