Abstract
Monodispersed spherical Eu2O3 ultrafine particles were successfully prepare d by calcinating the precusor precipitate Eu(OH)CO3. H2O particles obtained by aging a Eu(NO3)(3) solution in the presence of urea. The effect of vari ous reaction conditions such as the concentration of urea and Eu(NO3)(3), a nd the pH on the resulting particles was investigated and the optimal prepa ration conditions were obtained. XRD, IR, TG, TEM and specific surface area measurement techniques were used to characterize the obtained samples.
