Morphology and optical properties of CeF3 and CeF3:Tb nanocrystals: The dominant role of the reaction thermal mode

A facile synthesis and luminescence properties of CeF3:Tb3+ via polyol method

“…[13][14][15] CeF 3 has attracted much attention because of its high density, fast response speed and high radiation resistance, it has broad application prospects in the fields of optics, photoelectron, chemistry and so on. [16][17][18][19][20] terbium ion doped CeF 3 (CeF 3 :Tb 3 + ) has more excellent luminescence performance because of the effective energy transfer from Ce 3 + to Tb 3 + , up to now, many approaches have been employed to synthesize CeF 3 :Tb 3 + nanocrystals, such as microemulsion method, hydrothermal method, microwave irradiation procedure, and polyol method. [21][22][23][24][25] Among the many synthesis methods, the polyalcohol method shows great advantages and development, because this method only requires simple equipment and mild reaction conditions.…”

Properties of cerium (III) fluoride nanopowder obtained by pulsed electron beam evaporation

“…Inorganic fluorides, in particular rare earth metal (REM) fluorides, have a unique combination of physicochemical properties: large band gap, low phonon energy (< 400 cm − 1 ), thermal stability, low nonradiative transition scattering rate, high refractive index, low toxicity, and excellent optical operability [1][2][3][4]. Fluorides are widely used as photonics materials, as optical materials that are transparent in the UV-IR range, luminophores; solid-state lasers, scintillators, antireflection coatings, in metallurgy, in separation of uranium isotopes and in many other fields of science and technology [5].…”
