Controlled Synthesis of EuF₃ Nanoslices via a Simple Solution Route

Abstract

In this thesis, EuF3are fabricated without using any surfactant at 140 °C temperature. The formation of nanoslices can be attributed to the inherent crystal structure of EuF3. The morphology of EuF3can be controlled by the reaction time. The corresponding photoluminescence properties of EuF3nanoslices have been investigated.
