Sodium iron hexafluoride (NaFeF), as a colorless iron fluoride, is expected to be an ideal host for rare earth ions to realize magneto-optical bi-functionality. Herein, monodispersed terbium ions (Tb) doped NaFeF particles are successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) reveal that the Tb doped NaFeF micro-particles with regular octahedral shape can be assigned to a monoclinic crystal structure (space group P21/c). Under ultraviolet light excitation, the NaFeF:Tb octahedral particles given orange-red light emission originated from the D→F transitions of the Tb ions. In addition, the magnetism measurement indicates that NaFeF:Tb octahedral particles are paramagnetic with high magnetization at room temperature. Therefore, the NaFeF:Tb powders may find potential applications in the biomedical field as magnetic-optical bi-functional materials.
六氟铁酸钠(NaFeF)作为一种无色的铁氟化物,有望成为实现磁光双功能的稀土离子的理想基质。在此,通过简便的一锅水热法成功合成了单分散的铽离子(Tb)掺杂的NaFeF颗粒。X射线衍射(XRD)和场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)表明,具有规则八面体形状的Tb掺杂NaFeF微粒属于单斜晶体结构(空间群P21/c)。在紫外光激发下,NaFeF:Tb八面体颗粒发出源于Tb离子D→F跃迁的橙红色光。此外,磁性测量表明,NaFeF:Tb八面体颗粒在室温下是具有高磁化强度的顺磁性物质。因此,NaFeF:Tb粉末作为磁光双功能材料在生物医学领域可能具有潜在应用。
