In the current research work, we demonstrate the synthesis of Samarium doped silica nanopowder through wetchemical technique. The phenomenon correlated to structural morphology is proposed and conferred. Nanocrystalline form of Sm-SiO2 powder has been formulated via sol-gel process. Performance of this method is absolutely correct for massive production and it is also a profitable in the sense of money. The ready sample are treated thermally at temperature 900ºC which are characterized through different supportive instrumental techniques as like ‘X-Ray Diffraction’ (XRD), ‘FourierTransform Infrared Spectroscopy’ (FTIR) and ‘Scanning Electron Microscope’ (SEM) with EDX etc. The cubic phase of prepared sample is confirmed by XRD with average crystalline size ~18 nm using well known Debye-Scherer's formula and lattice constant is calculated as 10.8 Å. The surface morphology and microparticles structure information are collected from the SEM study. Investigation proposed that different nanoscopic collaborations play a key role in defining the morphology and crystal phase of ready materials. Presently, activity in this area is concentrated on the synthesis of glowing material via advanced methods and inspecting standard utilization in the area of microchips, photonics, flashes, sensors, optical intensification and fluorescent detecting appliances.
