The present research aims to study the structural, morphological and bandgap studies of 1mol% Ce doped Gd2O3 samples. Gd1.99Ce0.01O3 sample was synthesized via hydrothermal method. The crystallinity, phase and crystallite size are determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the development of pure crystalline phase Gd2O3 sample. The morphology of the synthesized sample is examined using Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) micrographs and elemental composition by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) spectra. FESEM results confirmed the formation of rod shape of the synthesized samples. The bandgap studies are done using UV-Visible spectroscopy. The synthesized samples are the potential candidates for various biomedical, and optoelectronic applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
