Abstract
The LaF3 film formed by c-axis oriented uniform-size nanocrystals with diameter of about 400nm was obtained on the surface of La(NO3)3 solution in 1M HNO3 by interfacial reaction with HF in the gas medium. The effect of solution acidity on the layer morphology is reported. The film formed by LaF3:Eu3+ oriented nanocrystals with radial compositional gradient has been prepared in a similar way. The synthesized crystals were characterized by SEM, TEM, HRTEM, EPMA, TEM-EDX mapping, XRD analysis, Raman and luminescent spectroscopy. The LaF3:Eu3+ doped nanocrystals can potentially be used as luminescent material.
