Abstract
We have identified conditions that ensure the preparation of ultrafine Sr1 − x Nd x F2 + x powders uniform in phase composition. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The powder particles have the form of faceted nano- and microcubes and range in size from 30–100 nm to 0.3–2.5 μm, depending on precipitation conditions.
