Optimization of R2O2Se (R = La, Gd, Y) Synthesis for the Preparation of Optical Materials

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

We have perfected processes for the synthesis of lanthanum, gadolinium, and yttrium oxyselenides by heating oxides in flowing hydrogen and selenium vapor. The optimal selenidation temperature is 700°C for lanthanum, 850°C for gadolinium, and 900°C for yttrium. Subsequent annealing of the materials in flowing hydrogen at 1000°C makes it possible to remove trace levels of amorphous selenium and impurity phases containing diselenide groups.
