Effect of Annealing Temperature on Surface Morphology of Lanthanum Phosphate (LaPO₄) Nanostructures Thin Films

Abstract:

LaPO₄ particles with different morphologies and sizes have been successfully synthesized via sol-gel spinned coating process. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of annealing on the morphology and formation of LaPO₄ on thin films. Physical structural properties of LaPO₄ was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM-XE100). EDS analysis was done to check on the formation of LaPO₄.
