Lanthanum hafnate (La
2Hf
2O
7) or lanthanum hafnium oxide is a
mixed oxide of
lanthanum and
hafnium.
Lanthanum hafnate is a colorless ceramic material [2] with the La and Hf atoms arranged in a cubic lattice. The arrangement is a disordered fluorite-like structure below 1,000 °C (1,270 K; 1,830 °F), above which it transitions to a pyrochlore phase; an amorphous phase also exists below 800 °C (1,070 K; 1,470 °F). [3] [4]
The compound decomposes into its constituent oxides at 18 GPa. [5]
Oxygen vacancies in the base material give luminescence spanning across the visible light spectrum, with a peak near 460 nm. [6] The luminescent properties can be fine-tuned by doping with various rare earth and group 4 metals; [7] [8] for example, La2Hf2O7: Eu3+ nanoparticles exhibit a red photoluminescence or radioluminescence near 612 nm when exposed to ultraviolet or X-ray radiation. [9]
Bulk ceramics can obtained by combusting the elements in powder form, and then pressing and sintering the powder at 180 MPa and 1,850 °C (2,120 K; 3,360 °F) for 6 hours: [2]
It may also be made by precipitating hafnium and lanthanum hydroxides from solution and then calcinating in air at 600–1,400 °C (873–1,673 K; 1,112–2,552 °F) for 3 hours: [3]
