Alkaline earth fluorides are widely recognized as the hosts for the fabrication of inorganic scintillators and phosphors, due to favorable properties such as chemical inertness, low lattice phonon energy, etc. [1-3]. Mn 4+ -doped barium hexafluorometallates, BaXF6 (X = Si, Ge, Ti, or Sn) can be potentially used in commercial LEDs in order to convert the UV-blue emissions from the conventional white light emitting LEDs to red emissions to reduce the health-related impacts that may arise after prolonged exposure UVblue light [4]. These materials have excellent photoluminescence properties and can be useful for several applications such as color multiplexing [5], optical sensing [6], and temperature sensing [7]. Furthermore, when doped with rare-earth ions, these materials exhibit fast decay time. In this work, high aspect-ratio single-crystal BaXF6 nanowires were synthesized by a solvothermal method and are analyzed using an Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA).
