The unexplored δ-phase of KY3F10: toward novel Eu3+-doped nanoplates with a ‘super-diamond’ structure for optical applications

This article describes a new, simple, and high-yield method based on a sonochemical process for obtaining the δ-KY3F10·xH2O compound with a ‘super-diamond’ structure, a material that has been completely neglected in the literature since it was first discovered. We explore the mechanism underlying th...
