Abstract

A study was conducted on the interaction of Zinc sulfide, obtained by the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, and purified from oxygen with Europium (III) fluoride. The optical properties of the obtained systems were studied. The luminescence spectra show a decrease in its intensity for the samples after their heat treatment, which occurs due to the possible reaction with partial disappearance of Europium (III) fluoride. A hypothesis was proposed regarding the redox mechanism of interaction between the reagents with the formation of Europium (II) fluoride and other compounds.
