چکیده

This paper presents a simple and effective oil-water interfacial self-assembly strategy to fabricate monolayer and bilayer nanofilms of densely packed Gd2O3:0.05X(3+) (X = Eu, Tb) nanorods with characteristic luminescence properties. In this process, Gd2O3:0.05X(3+) (X = Eu, Tb) nanotubes synthesized by a hydrothermal method are dispersed in deionized water; then, a certain amount of n-hexane is added to produce a hexane-water interface. With n-butanol added as initiator, the nanotubes are gradually trapped at the interface to form a densely packed nanofilm. A monolayer nanofilm of densely packed Gd2O3:0.05Eu(3+) nanorods is obtained after annealing. In addition, the bilayer nanofilm composed of Gd2O3:0.05X(3+) (X = Eu, Tb) nanorods still retains the luminescence properties of each monolayer nanofilm. Moreover, the adhesion of the film on the substrate is very strong, which is extremely beneficial for its future applications.

Photoluminescence and X-Ray Diffraction Properties of Europium and Silver Co-Doped Tantalum-Oxide Thin Films Deposited by Co-Sputtering

We fabricated europium and silver co-doped tantalum-oxide (Ta2O5:Eu, Ag) thin films using a simple co-sputtering method for the first time, and we evaluated their photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) properties. We found that the most remarkable PL peak at a wavelength of 615 nm due to Eu can be enhanced by Ag doping, and the strongest PL peak can be obtained from a Ta2O5:Eu, Ag t...
