“…This indicates the high site symmetry of the Eu 3+ ions in Eu(OH) 3 rods. No emission from 5 D 1 and 5 D 2 of the Eu 3+ ions is detected in the Eu(OH) 3 rods because of the large vibrational energy (about 3600 cm −1 ) of the −OH radicals, which causes these transitions to be nonradiative …”
Eu(OH)3 rods, with diameters of 140 nm and lengths of 100−500 nm were prepared by a hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction indicated a pure hexagonal phase (space group P63/m) of the rods. The relations between structural and optical properties of Eu(OH)3 rods under high pressures were obtained by photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra. Two structural phase-transition points at around 4 and 8 GPa were observed in this work. When a pressure of about 4 GPa was applied to the samples, one new emission peak at 593 nm was observed in the PL spectra, indicating the splitting of the 7F1 Stark level in Eu3+ ions. Such a splitting was attributed to the decrease of site symmetry of Eu3+ ions from C

“…The variable‐temperature magnetic susceptibilities of Eu‐1 , Eu‐2 , Eu‐3 , and Tb‐1 were investigated on polycrystalline samples in an applied magnetic field of 1000 Oe over the temperature range of 5–300 K. Magnetic properties of Eu‐1 , Eu‐2 , and Eu‐3 could not be characterized because of the non‐magnetic ground term 7 F 0 of the Eu 3+ ion. Despite the low‐temperature limit, χ m of the magnetic susceptibility is nonzero owing to the term χ (0) arising from the coupling between the 7 F 0 and the first excited states 7 F l through Zeeman perturbation as observed for selected europium compounds 64. In contrast, Tb‐1 exhibits characteristic paramagnetic behavior over the entire temperature range: χ m increases slowly from 0.043 emu Oe –1 mol –1 at 300 K to 0.467 emu Oe –1 mol –1 at 25 K and then exponentially to the maximum of 1.639 emu Oe –1 mol –1 at 5 K (Figure 11).…”
Three new lanthanoid-substituted polyoxotungstates based on open Wells-Dawson fragments {[Ln 2 (H 2 O) 7 SiW 18 O 66 ] 10-[Ln = Eu III (Eu-1 and Eu-2), Tb III (Tb-1)]} and a new sandwich-type polyoxometalate constituted of Keggin-type monolacunary anions {[Eu(α-SiW 11 O 39 ) 2 ] 13-(Eu-3)} were obtained from the trilacunary Keggin POM Na 10 [SiW 9 O 34 ]·23 H 2 O and lanthanoid salts as precursors. All compounds were comprehensively characterized by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and thermogravimetric analyses and by FT-IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, as well as by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

“…The intensity of the latter is slight weaker than that of the former, which indicates the high site symmetry of Eu 3+ in the as-prepared 1D Eu(OH) 3 nanostructures. 9,22 If the intensity of the peak at 616 nm is signicantly higher than that at 592 nm, Eu 3+ occupies an asymmetric site, which is fairly common in core-shell or doped Eu materials. 23 The emission peaks at 690 nm could respectively be attributed to the 5 D 0 -F 4 transitions of Eu 3+ .…”
