Abstract
Retraction of ‘Self-limited growth of Pr3+-doped LaF3 nanocrystals in oxyfluoride glass and glass-ceramics’ Biswajit Pal et al., RSC Adv., 2017, 7, 14824–14831.
We, the named authors wholly retract this RSC Advances article due to the inappropriate copying of figures from other published papers.
Fig. 5–12 have been copied from ref. 1. Fig. 3 and 4 have been copied from ref. 2. Further to this the XRD data presented in Fig. 2 have not been generated from genuine raw data.
Anil K. Barik and Biswajit Pal state that they did not participate in the data collection for this article and were unaware of the source of data in the figures.
The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience to readers.
Signed: Amit Mallik, Anil K. Barik and Biswajit Pal
