title: Flame synthesis of calcium-, strontium-, barium fluoride nanoparticles and sodium chloride.
abstract: Non-oxidic salts such as NaCl, CaF2, SrF2 and BaF2 were synthesised using a flame spray method; optional doping of such fluorides with rare earth elements suggests possible applications in optics.
