The incorporation of trivalent lanthanides and actinides into zirconia (ZrO₂) was studied using PXRD and spectroscopic methods (EXAFS, TRLFS). In highly doped cubic zirconia three Eu(III) incorporation species could be found using TRLFS. A surface associated species with an excitation maximum of 578.1 nm and two bulk incorporation species with excitation maxima at 579.0 and 579.7 nm were found.
