Abstract
Neodymium praseodymium oxalate decahydrate crystals were grown using s ilica gel technique by the controlled reaction of rare earth nitrates with oxalic acid. The grown crystal were characterized using X-ray pow der diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal decomposit ion process of the crystals is in good agreement with the proposed cry stal structure.
