Flux-solvothermal preparation of dispersible LiLa_0.4Nd_0.6(PO₃)₄ microcrystals with regular morphology and superior fluorescence

Abstract

Dispersible LiLaNd(PO3)4 microcrystals with an average size of 1.5–5 μm and lifetime of 107 μs were prepared via a flux-solvothermal method. They have a transparent dispersion with high Nd3+ ions concentration, long lifetime, low solvent quenching ratio, large emission cross section and high quantum yield.
