Abstract
Pure and Sn doped Lanthanum oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel technique. The average crystallite sizes of pure and Sn doped lanthanum oxide is found to be 26 nm. The powder X-ray diffraction studies shows that all samples have single phase hexagonal structure. The Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) study fairly agrees with the powder XRD results. From Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images, it is clearly seen that a uniform smooth surfaced hexagonal with high porosity structures. The UV-vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy study confirms the absorption edge shift towards the lower wavelength region with the increase in Sn- concentration in Lanthanum oxide. The Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy study indicates the maximum emissive power for Sn doped lanthanum oxide at 358 nm with strong intensity peak.
