Rare earth oxides (REOs) are deemed important from both industrial implementation and
research insight perspectives. One of the most conspicuous attributes of REOs is sensing …

Neutron scattering is arguably the most powerful technique available for looking inside
materials and seeing what the atoms are doing. This textbook provides a comprehensive …

Luminescent properties of compounds based on lanthanide ions are strongly influenced by
defect clustering, and unfortunately, these defects are not fully understood in lanthanide …

Metal hydride oxides are an emerging field in solid-state research. While some lanthanide
hydride oxides (Ln HO) were known, YHO has only been found in thin films so far. Yttrium …

The substitution of hydrogen for oxygen atoms in metal oxides provides opportunities for
influencing the solid-state properties. Such hydride oxides (or oxyhydrides) are potential …

The structural and spectroscopic properties of (Eu 1-x Yb x) 2 O 3 nanocrystals with cubic (C-
type) and monoclinic (B-type) crystalline structures have been studied. NCs have been …

The crystal and magnetic structure of SmCo5 is determined by neutron powder diffraction
between 5 K and the Curie temperature. In order to overcome the enormous neutron …

Pale yellow crystals of Ln Sb2O4Br (Ln= Eu–Tb) were synthesized via high temperature
solid-state reactions from antimony sesquioxide, the respective lanthanoid sesquioxides and …

Heteroanionic hydrides offer great possibilities in the design of functional materials. For
ternary rare earth hydride oxide RE HO, several modifications were reported with indications …

Synthesis of chlorine-free, rare earth oxide aerogels from the lanthanide series was
achieved using a modified epoxide-assisted sol-gel method. An ethanolic solution of the …
