Tin-dioxide nanocrystals as Er 3+ luminescence sensitizers: Formation of glass-ceramic thin films and their characterization
Copyright policy )Tin-dioxide nanocrystals as Er 3+ luminescence sensitizers: Formation of glass-ceramic thin films and their characterization
Silica-tin dioxide thin films doped with Er3+ ions were fabricated and investigated. Different parameters such as heat-treatment temperatures, molar concentrations of SnO2 as well as Er3+ ions concentration were changed in order to obtain the best properties of presented thin films. Using several techniques, thin films were characterized and proved to be crack-free, water-free and smooth after a heat-treatment at 1200 °C. Aiming to application in optics, the transparency of thin films was also evidenced by transmission spectra. Based on the photoluminescence measurements, the mechanism of energy transfer from SnO2 nanocrystals to Er3+ ions was examined and discussed.
