Hydrothermal synthesis of NaEuF4 spindle-like nanocrystals

Abstract

NaEuF4 spindle-like nanocrystals have been synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method. The nanocrystals were well crystallized and exhibited fine morphology, as indicated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and selected area electron diffractometer. The luminescence properties of these NaEuF4 products were investigated. © Indian Academy of Sciences.
