  Author(s): B. Ravindrana*, GK Kavi and J Balaji
  
  Lanthanum nanoparticles have excellent photocatalytic, optical, physiochemical and biological properties and their applications are in modern society. Lanthanum nanoparticles were synthesized using a new and simple co-precipitation process. The structural and optical properties and the morphology of the produced nanocomposite were examined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns, which confirm the development of hexagonal La2O3 nanoparticles with a structure. The presence of a LaO spectrum range of 4000 cm-1 to 400 cm-1 verifies the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) shows spherical-shaped particles in the 200 nm nano sized range. The optical characteristics of La2O3 nanoparticles were studied using UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The band gap value was determined to be 3.8.. Read More»
