Strong Eu2+ light emission in Eu silicate through Eu3+ reduction in Eu2O3/Si multilayer deposited on Si substrates

چکیده
Eu2O3/Si multilayer nanostructured films are deposited on Si substrates by magnetron sputtering. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements demonstrate that multicrystalline Eu silicate is homogeneously distributed in the film after high-temperature treatment in N2. The Eu2+ silicate is formed by the reaction of Eu2O3 and Si layers, showing an intense and broad room-temperature photoluminescence peak centered at 610 nm. It is found that the Si layer thickness in nanostructures has great influence on Eu ion optical behavior by forming different Eu silicate crystalline phases. These findings open a promising way to prepare efficient Eu2+ materials for photonic application.

Combustion Synthesis and Photoluminescence Properties of Red-Emitting CaAlSiN3:Eu2+ Phosphor for White-LEDs
A combustion synthesis method has been developed for synthesis of Eu2+ doped CaAlSiN₃ phosphor and its photoluminescence properties were investigated. Ca, Al, Si, and Eu₂O₃ powders were used as the Ca, Al, Si and Eu sources. The addition of NaN₃, NH₄Cl and Si₃N₄ powders was found to increase significantly the product yield. These powders were mixed and pressed into a compact, which was then wra...

متن کاملMulticolor light-emitting devices with Tb2O3 on silicon
Great efforts have been devoted to achieving efficient Si-based light-emitting devices. Here we report new light-emitting devices fabricated with Tb2O3 on Si substrates. Intense green electroluminescence was observed, with a turn-on voltage of about 8 V. The green emission is attributed to the characteristic transitions of Tb3+ ions in Tb2O3. The electroluminescence mechanisms of the Tb2O3 ligh...
متن کاملEffect of metallic surface on electric dipole and magnetic dipole emission transitions in Eu3+ doped polymeric film.
Spontaneous emission of Eu(3+) ions is studied in thin organic films deposited onto several different substrates. It has been demonstrated that the presence of a metallic surface in close vicinity to emitting Eu(3+) ions causes modifications of their spontaneous emission spectra, in particular, the change in the relative strengths of magnetic-dipole and electric-dipole transitions. The characte...
