AbstractPhotoluminescence activity was observed for neodymium-doped gallium oxide thin films prepared by radiofrequency magnetron co-sputtering. Structural and optical properties of as-grown and annealed films were studied and photoluminescence activity was especially investigated. The most intense lines were associated to the 4F3/2  4I9/2 and 4F3/2  4I11/2 electronic transitions of Nd3+. The effects of deposition and treatment parameters such as the substrate temperature, the post anneal treatment or the neodymium content in the films were particularly examined with the aim to reach the best luminescence efficiency.

Abstract In the present work, gallium oxide nanoparticles (nGa2O3) are synthesized via the thermal microwave combustion method, while nanocomposites of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer with various concentrations of nGa2O3 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 wt%) are prepared by the casting technique. The structural characterization of nGa2O3, PVA, and films of PVA-Ga2O3 nanocomposites are studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The HRTEM and XRD examinations showed that the prepared nGa2O3 has an average crystallite size of ~ 5.6 nm and particle size of ~ 0.9 µm. On another side, the optical transmission spectra were performed in the spectral range 250 to 2500 nm at room temperature. The refractive index, absorption coefficient, and optical bandgap (Eg) were determined using the Wemple-DiDomenico single oscillator model. It was shown that Eg slightly reduced from 3.61 to 3.55 eV with increasing the Ga2O3 content to 3 wt%, while raised again up to 3.58 eV for 5 wt% Ga2O3. Other optical characteristics such as the optical density, extinction coefficient, refractive index, optical susceptibility, thermal emissivity, optical sheet resistance for the PVA-Ga2O3 nanocomposites are investigated. The linear and nonlinear optical parameters together with their dependencies on the doping ratio reveals the qualification of PVA-Ga2O3 nanocomposites for nonlinear optical applications.
