The Sm3+-Doped La2O3powders were prepared by precipitation method. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Sm3+-Doped La2O3powders doped with different Sm3+concentration excited at 405 nm have been investigated. The PL spectra showed three main strong emissions peaks at near 572, 613, and 657 nm, which were due to the f-f forbidden transitions of the 4f electrons of Sm3+, corresponding to4G5/2→6H5/2(572 nm),6H7/2(613 nm), and6H9/2(657 nm), respectively. The optimum Sm3+concentration in La2O3powders for optical emission was determined to be 2.0 %. Since the 2% Sm-doped La2O3 offer a rather strong f–f transition excitation in near the UV region, the as-prepared phosphors are likely to be used as potential red phosphors for near-ultraviolet (370-410 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

ABSTRACTCuxO thin films have been deposited on a quartz substrate by reactive radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering at different target powers Pt (140-190 W) while keeping other growth process parameters fixed. Room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements indicate considerable improvement of crystallinity for the films deposited at Pt>170 W, with most pronounced excitonic features being observed in the film grown using Pt=190 W. These results corroborate well with the surface morphology of the films, which was found more flat, smooth and homogeneous for Pt >170 W films in comparison with those deposited at lower powers.

ABSTRACTWe present the changes upon isochronous annealing in the room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of nearly stoichiometric silicon nitride. Samples are prepared by the 50kHz PECVD of a N2/SiH4/Helium gas mixture at 350°C. In the as-deposited films the hydrogen content was around 11% for a refractive index of 1.98. For a photoexcitation at 351 nm, the polarized PL spectrum of the as-deposited film is characterized by a main broad emission band in the visible region with a maximum at 2.55eV. A second narrow peak (FWHM = 55meV), at 3.02eV is observed. We study the evolution of the PL spectra with different isochronous anneals from 350°C to 1000°C. Even though the general shape of the PL spectra does not change, we observe an increase of quantum efficiency with maximum value upon 750°C annealing. Beyond this temperature the low energy part of the PL spectrum shows a slight increase. These variations are compared to those of the infrared absorption peaks measured on the same samples. Both the temperature dependence of the intensity of a well defined absorption peak in the Si-H stretching mode region and that of the PL features can be explained assuming that solid state chemical reactions involving hydrogen and Si-Si bonds occur in the bulk of the alloy.

A novel orange-red phosphor Ca 3 B 2 O 6: Sm 3+, A+( A = Li , Na , K ) has been synthesized by solid-state reaction at 950°C. The phase purity and photoluminescence (PL) behavior of the phosphor are studied in detail using the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and PL measurements. Ca 3 B 2 O 6: Sm 3+ phosphor can be efficiently excited by near ultraviolet (n-UV) and blue light, and the emission spectrum consists of four emission peaks at 563, 599, 646 and 709 nm, generating bright orange-red light. When a cation A+ is introduced into Ca 3 B 2 O 6: Sm 3+ as charge compensator, the emission intensity of Ca 3 B 2 O 6: Sm 3+ is evidently enhanced, but the PL spectral profile is unchanged. The integral intensity of the emission spectrum of Ca 2.96 Sm 0.02 Na 0.02 B 2 O 6 excited at 401 nm is about 1.2 times than that of Y 2 O 2 S : Eu 3+ commercial red phosphor. The CIE chromaticity coordinates of Ca 2.96 Sm 0.02 Na 0.02 B 2 O 6 phosphor were (0.608, 0.365), which are close to that of the commercial red phosphors Y 2 O 3: Eu 3+ (0.655, 0.345), Y 2 O 2 S : Eu 3+ (0.622, 0.351) and Sr 2 Si 5 N 8: Eu 2+ (0.620, 0.370).

In this paper, we report a facile route, the tin vapor treatment method, to prepare tin oxide containing mesoporous silica composites (TOMS), which display room-temperature photoluminescence (RT-PL). Among them, TOMS-1 and TOMS-2 were synthesized from mesoporous silica SBA-15 and KIT-6, respectively. They are composed of amorphous SiO2 and tin oxide species and they display strong emission near ultraviolet (UV) when excited by UV light. By increasing the preparation temperature, their Sn content can be increased and subsequently their photoluminescence (PL) intensities can be greatly enhanced. Besides, their PL properties are revealed to be closely related to 2-fold-coordinated tin oxygen-deficient centers.
