Synthesis, Characterization and Optical Property of KLaF4:Ce3+ Nano Particle

Abstract

Ce3+doped cubic KLaF4system was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The result indicated the nanoparticle diameter of KLaF4:Ce3+was 12.5 nm. The KLaF4:Ce3+had a stronger absorption at 250 nm, which could be explained by d elecronic transition of Ce3+. The maximum emission peak of KLaF4:Ce3+was 355 nm in its luminescent spectrum, and emission band of Ce3+also belonged to 5d→4f transition.
