Lanthanum(III) Oxide (La₂O₃)
Lanthanum(III) oxide, or Lanthana, is a white, water-insoluble solid. It can be dissolved in an acidic solution and is hygroscopic. Lanthanum oxide has p-type semiconducting properties. It has the largest bandgap of the rare earth metal oxides (4.3 eV), the lowest lattice energy, and a very high dielectric constant. Lanthana confers increased density, refractive index, and hardness to optical glasses.

Typical Applications
Lanthanum(III) oxide is used to make optical glasses, is an ingredient for manufacturing devices for piezoelectricity, galvanothermy, and thermoelectricity material, and is found in automobile exhaust-gas converters. It is also used in X-Ray imaging intensifying screens, phosphors, and dielectric and conductive ceramics.
