Sodium zinc fluoride (NaZnF₄) is an inorganic fluoride ceramic compound belonging to the family of mixed-metal fluorides. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for optical and photonic applications, particularly as a host matrix for rare-earth ion doping in upconversion phosphors and laser materials. Its fluoride composition and crystal structure make it relevant for applications requiring efficient energy transfer and luminescence, offering advantages over oxide ceramics in terms of lower phonon energy and reduced non-radiative losses.
