Abstract:Rare earth (lanthanide series) borates, possess high vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) transparency, large electronic band gaps, chemical and environmental stability and exceptionally large optical damage thresholds. For this properties, they are used in the development of plasma display panels (PDPs). In this study the synthesis of lanthanum borates via solid-state method is studied. For this purpose, lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ) and boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) are used for as lanthanum and boron sources, respectively. Diff… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
