Full characterization of Eu(OH) 3 and Eu 2 O 3 nanorods

Synthesis and characterization of Gd(OH)3 and Gd2O3 nanorods

“…The weak rising edge at around 600 1C could be due to reduction of surface oxide. For Eu 2 O 3 nanorods, Kang et al reported that two broad reduction peaks were observed at 570 and 830 1C, attributed to reductions of surface and bulk oxygen, respectively [28]. Fig.…”

“…For the Gd(OH) 3 sample, three major Raman peaks were clearly observed at 309.4, 385.3 and 491.2 cm À 1 , which were assigned to A g translatory, E 2g translatory, and E 1g liberation modes, respectively [11]. For hexagonal phase Gd(OH) 3 with P63/m space group, 4A g , 2E 1g and 5E 2g are known to be Raman active among the vibrational [28]. For cubic phase Gd 2 O 3 nanorods, a strong Raman peak was observed at 360.2 cm À 1 , which was assigned to the F g mode [28,31].…”

“…For Gd 2 O 3 , no OH vibration modes were observed as expected. Two peaks were commonly observed at 1394 and 1500 cm À 1 , attributed to symmetric and asymmetric stretching of COO À , respectively [28]. Fig.…”

For cubic phase Gd 2 O 3 nanorods, a strong Raman peak was observed at 360.2 cm À 1 , which was assigned to the F g mode [28,31]. For the FT-IR spectrum of Gd(OH) 3 , a very sharp IR peak was observed at 3612 cm À 1 , which was ascribed to the O-H stretching of Gd(OH) 3 [11].…”

Synthesis and characterization of Sm(OH)3 and Sm2O3 nanoroll sticks

“…The strong Raman peak at 344.7 cm -1 was assigned to the combination of A g and F g modes [29,30]. For the FT-IR spectrum of Sm(OH) 3 , a very sharp IR peak was observed at 3608.0 cm -1 and attributed to the O-H stretching vibration [16,31,32]. The peak at 685.6 cm -1 was due to bending vibration of Sm-O-H [16].…”
