Abstract

Large single crystals of lanthanide hydroxides [Ln(OH)3 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Tb)] up to several millimeters have been grown by using solid KOH assisted hydrothermal method. Eu(OH)3 samples, as a representative of the Ln(OH)3 crystals, were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), 4‐circle single‐crystal diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). FESEM image shows hexagonal prism morphology for the Eu(OH)3 large crystals. Research on the photoluminescence and magnetic properties of Eu(OH)3 species was conducted.
