Description
Benjamin Knies, Priya Pandey, Markus Suta, and Ingo Hartenbach synthesize and study a family of fluoride-bearing crystals, in a research paper from 2026. The compounds pair rare earth metals with tungsten and oxygen around a fluoride core. Growing them as clean single crystals opens the way to careful structural and optical study.
A salt flux yielded coarse crystals across the series from yttrium and samarium to lutetium. Each metal center sits among eight neighbors, though the last contact loosens toward the heavy end. Two members were doped with glowing ions to test them as light hosts. Spectra and timing measures at cold and room warmth gauge their promise.
