Description
Inorganic fluorides possess interesting applications for lasers, nuclear radiation detection and medical imaging. This work presents the results of PrF3 nanofluoride synthesized by a simple polyol method. Its structural, optical and morphological properties are analyzed by XRD, UV-vis and FESEM and FTIR methods. The PrF3 nanofluoride's crystallite size is about 12 nm and the particle is of flake and spherical morphologies. The UV-vis spectral result reveal optical absorption at 210 nm wavelength is related to 4f2 → 4f5d, that is 3Hj → 1S0 transition of Pr3+. (author)
