Title: Moving the Plasmon of LaB₆ from IR to Near-IR via Eu-Doping

Abstract

Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) has become a material of intense interest in recent years due to its low work function, thermal stability and intriguing optical properties. LaB₆ is also a semiconductor plasmonic material with the ability to support strong plasmon modes. Some of these modes uniquely stretch into the infrared, allowing the material to absorb around 1000 nm, which is of great interest to the window industry. It is well known that the plasmon of LaB₆ can be tuned by controlling particle size and shape. In this work, we explore the options available to further tune the optical properties by describing how metal vacancies and Eu doping concentrations are additional knobs for tuning the absorbance from the near-IR to far-IR in La_1-xEu_xB₆(x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0). We also report that there is a direct correlation between Eu concentration and metal vacancies within the Eu_1-xLa_xB₆.

Tuning the Surface Plasmon Resonance of Lanthanum Hexaboride to Absorb Solar Heat: A Review

Journal Article Mattox, Tracy ; Urban, Jeffrey - Materials

While traditional noble metal (Ag, Au, and Cu) nanoparticles are well known for their plasmonic properties, they typically only absorb in the ultraviolet and visible regions. The study of metal hexaborides, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) in particular, expands the available absorbance range of these metals well into the near-infrared. As a result, LaB6 has become a material of interest for its energy and heat absorption properties, most notably to those trying to absorb solar heat. Given the growing popularity of LaB₆, this review focuses on the advances made in the past decade with respect to controlling the plasmonic properties of LaB₆more »« less

Effects of Size and Structural Defects on the Vibrational Properties of Lanthanum Hexaboride Nanocrystals

Journal Article Groome, Chloe ; Roh, Inwhan ; Mattox, Tracy M. ; ... - ACS Omega

Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) is notable for its thermionic emission and mechanical strength and is being explored for its potential applications in IR-absorbing photovoltaic cells and thermally insulating window coatings. Previous studies have not investigated how the properties of LaB6 change on the nanoscale. Despite interest in the tunable plasmonic properties of nanocrystalline LaB₆, studies have been limited due to challenges in the synthesis of phase-pure, size-controlled, high-purity nanocrystals without high temperatures or pressures. Here, we report, for the first time, the ability to control particle size and boron content through reaction temperature and heating ramp rate, which allows the effectsmore »« less

A low-temperature route for the synthesis of nanocrystalline LaB{sub 6}

Journal Article Maofeng, Zhang ; Liang, Yuan ; Xiaoqing, Wang ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Nanocrystalline lanthanum hexaboride (LaB{sub 6}) with mean particle size of 30 nm has been successfully synthesized at 400 deg. C in an autoclave starting from metallic magnesium powder, NaBH{sub 4} and LaCl{sub 3}. In this case, by using B{sub 2}O{sub 3} instead of NaBH{sub 4}, LaB{sub 6} nanocubes with mean size of {approx}200 nm were formed at 500 deg. C. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern can be indexed as cubic LaB{sub 6} with the lattice constant of a=4.151 A for LaB{sub 6} nanoparticles and 4.154 A for LaB{sub 6} nanocubes.

Journal Article Wahid, Kareem ; Pokhrel, Madhab ; Mao, Yuanbing - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

This study presents the structural, optical, and radioluminescent characterization of newly synthesized europium-doped lanthanum hafnate (La{sub 2}Hf{sub 2}O{sub 7}:xmol%Eu{sup 3+}, x=0 to 35) nanoparticles (NPs) for use as phosphors and scintillation materials. Samples prepared through a combined co-precipitation and molten salt synthetic process were found to crystalize in the pyrochlore phase, a radiation tolerant structure related to the fluorite structure. These samples exhibit red luminescence under ultraviolet and X-ray excitation. Under these excitations, the optical intensity and quantum yield of the La{sub 2}Hf{sub 2}O{sub 7}:xmol%Eu{sup 3+} NPs depend on the Eu{sup 3+} concentration and are maximized at 5%.

Ab initio calculations of the electronic structure and bonding characteristics of LaB{sub 6}

Journal Article Hossain, Faruque M ; Riley, Daniel P ; Murch, Graeme E - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB{sub 6}, NIST SRM-660a) is widely used as a standard reference material for calibrating the line position and line shape parameters of powder diffraction instruments. The accuracy of this calibration technique is highly dependent on how completely the reference material is characterized. Critical to x-ray diffraction, this understanding must include the valence of the La atomic position, which in turn will influence the x-ray form factor (f) and hence the diffracted intensities. The electronic structure and bonding properties of LaB{sub 6} have been investigated using ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential total energy calculations. The electronic properties and atomic bondingmore »« less
