Synthesis and optical characterizations of undoped and rare-earth-doped CaF2 nanoparticles

Synthesis and optical studies of gamma irradiated Eu doped nanocrystalline CaF2

“…CaF 2 gained a renewed interest as a laser material when doped with rare earth materials [3]. CaF 2 nanoparticles are synthesized by different methods such as solgel, solvothermal, hydrothermal, reverse micelle [4][5][6]. In the present work Eu (1-5 mol%) doped CaF 2 nanoparticles are synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, FTIR and SEM.…”

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Monodisperse Spherical CaF<sub>2</sub> and CaF<sub>2</sub>:Ln<sup>3+</sup> (Ln = Eu, Tb, Ce/Tb) Microcrystals

“…Furthermore, as a promising route, doping has an advantage in decorating the local environment with the lanthanide ions in the host lattices, improving luminescence efficiency [33]. Ln 3+ doped luminescent UC/DC nano/micro-crystal of CaF 2 have been widely investigated over the past few years [34][35][36][37]. Lin's group has reported that in the presence of oleic acid, CaF 2 nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized via a solvothermal process [38].…”

Synthesis and Characterization of CaF2 NPs with Co-precipitation and Hydrothermal Method

“…It has high stability, non-hygroscopic, high refractive-index and homogeneity behavior. CaF 2 NPs have a technological importance because of their potential applications including advanced phosphor, photonic [3], display monitors, imaging, and light amplification [4]. The extremely high laser damage threshold of Calcium Fluoride has made it the material of choice for use in Excimer laser (an Excimer laser is a form of ultraviolet laser which is commonly used in the production of microelectronic devices, semiconductor integrated circuits or "chips", eye surgery, and micromachining) [5].…”
