Rare-Earth Metal(III) Fluoride Oxosilicates Derivatized with Alkali or Alkaline-Earth Elements

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Minerals as Advanced Materials II

Abstract

While searching for new and effective materials as host lattices for luminescence (Blasse and Grabmaier 1994; Dieke 1968; Höppe 2009; Jüstel et al. 1998; Ronda 2008), synthetic oxosilicates containing rare-earth metal(III) cations and fluoride anions got into the focus of our work (Schleid et al. 2011). In some cases, the charge compensation is achieved using alkali metals such as sodium to cesium or alkaline-earth metals such as calcium to barium.
