Resumen
Lutetium oxide films have been prepared by the sol-gel method and the dip-coating technique. Transparent and crack free coatings are obtained. Differential Thermal Analysis and Infrared spectroscopy were conducted on the dried sol-gel solution in order to determine the structure dependence of the material with temperature. The film microstructure was studied by Raman microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The crystallization of the lutetium oxide phase occurs at 600°C. Opto-geometrical parameters were determined depending on the annealing temperature. After heat treatment at 1000°C, very dense lutetium oxide films are obtained exhibiting a refractive index around 1.8 at 543.5 nm and a thickness of 410 nm.
