Abstract

There are various methods for synthesizing luminescent semi-conductor nano-particles.  A sample at chemical root of low temperature method was used to synthesize the magnesium niobate (MgNb2O6) nano-particles by using Niobium pentaoxide (Nb2O5), Magnesium nitrate, Ammonium carbonate were used.  All chemicals was taken A.R. Grade (99.99%).  Ammonium carbonate and Ammonium hydroxide was used to precipitate magnesium carbonate as Mg2+ cation and Niobium hydroxide as a Nb5+ cations under basic conditions.  This precipitate was heating at 800°C it produced MgNb2O6 fine powders.  The lattice parameters were studied by least square method and obtained a = 5.687 A°, b = 13.975 A° and C = 4.938 A°.  The average particle size of MgNb2O6 were studied by Scaning Electron Microscope (SEM) and found to be 45 nm.  The crystallite size calculated from Scherrer's formula.
