Abstract:

Uniform hexagonal microcrystals of LaAlO3:0.05Eu3+ of trigonal system were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and the effects of temperature and the concentration of NaOH solution were investigated. The obtained samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDX), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and photoluminescence(PL) spectra. The diffraction data of LaAlO3:0.05Eu3+ samples were refined by the Rietveld method using GSAS program on the basis of the strutural model of LaAlO3. The agreement factors are Rp=6.79% and Rwp=8.96%. Its lattice parameters are a=b=0.53636(2) nm and c=1.3101(1) nm. SEM image exhibits the uniform hexagonal shapes of the as-synthesized LaAlO3:0.05Eu3+ microcrystals with an average diameter of about 4 μm. The PL spectrum shows that the characterization emission of LaAlO3:0.05Eu3+ is attributed to the 5D07F1 magnetic dipole transition of Eu3+.
