Studying the Structural Properties of Compounds Fluoride that Blotched by Sb

Abstract

Sb doped calcium fluoride transparent conducting powder were prepared by solid state reaction method. Structural properties of the samples were investigated as a function of various Sb-doping levels (x=0.00-0.04-0.05-0.06). The results of x-ray diffraction have shown that the samples are polycrystalline structure in cubic phase and show presence (111) ،(220) ،(311) ،(400) planes in pure CaF2 sample and The preferred orientation is (220) for pure CaF2 and we have peaks correspond to (012), (015), (024), (122) for Sb for all samples and the preferred orientation is (015) for Sb for all samples. The average of crystallite size is within the range [4.063-0.915 nm] for all samples. The relative intensities, distance between crystalline planes (d), crystallite size (D) and lattice parameters (a) were determined.
