Rare earth metals luminescent materials have been practically applied in almost all devices from cathode ray tubes to coating materials. Lanthanum containing samples of orthovanadate, orthophosphate and orthoborate (LaVO4, LaPO4 and LaBO3) compounds have been successfully prepared by microwave-assisted solid state synthesis (MASSS) method. Characterizations were done by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement method, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The Rietveld refinement analyses by using XRD data reveal that LaVO4 and LaPO4 powders are crystallized in monoclinic system; LaBO3 is in orthorhombic. The morphological results confirm the particle sizes are in the range micron to nano-scale. While LaPO4 and LaBO3 powders exhibit green phosphor, LaVO4 seems yellow under visible range..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
