Effect of different fluxes on the morphology of the LaPO4:Ce, Tb phosphor

Fluxes were found to control the morphology of particles: LaCeT particles, from spherical to parallelepiped-like shape, with suitable sizes, from 0.1 to 10 μm, have been synthesized. Furthermore the photoluminescence emission of the obtained powders has been checked, and it has been proved that the effect of the fluxes studied is not harmful to the LaCeT final optical properties.
