Abstract

EuF3: Gd nanoparticles have been synthesized in the presence of α- glycine via chloride route at room temperature. The synthesised nanoparticles shows hexagonal phase with lattice parameters a = b = 6.920 Ao and c = 7.085 Ao (JCPDS No. 32-0373). The average size of nanoparticles calculated with Debye- Scherer equation was found to be 51 nm. Thermal characteristics were studied from TGA/DTA spectrum and it shows decomposition in two stages. UV-VIS studies show three wavelengths which find applications in optoelectronic devices. Dielectric studies explained d.c conduction process.
