EDTA-assisted phase conversion synthesis of (Gd0.95RE0.05)PO4 nanowires (RE = Eu, Tb) and investigation of photoluminescence
Hexagonal (Gd0.95RE0.05)PO4·nH2O nanowires ~300 nm in length and ~10 nm in diameter have been converted from (Gd0.95RE0.05)2(OH)5NO3·nH2O nanosheets (RE = Eu, Tb) in the presence of monoammonium phosphate (NH4H2PO4) and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). They were characterized by X-ray diffr...
