Influence of Microstructure Modulation of Er~(3+)-Doped Al_2O_3 on the Photoluminescence Performance
Translated Abstract
The Al2O3 powders doped with different mole fractions of Er3+ and those co-doped with Er3+ ion of 0.5% and different mole fractions of Y3+ ion were prepared by a sol–gel method.Due to the radius difference between Y3+ ion and Al3+ ion,the micro-structure of Al2O3 could be modulated by co-doping with different mole fractions of Y3+.The structure of the powder samples were determined by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy,respectively,and the photoluminescence(PL) characteristics were analyzed via the PL spectra.The results show that the primary phase of Y3+ and Er3+ co-doped Al2O3 samples is δ-Al2O3.The lattice defects,the PL intensity,spectral width and PL lifetime of samples increased with increasing the doping quantity of Y3+ ion.The PL property of Er3+-doped Al2O3 powders was improved effectively via the modulation of the microstructure environment of Er3+ by doping with different quantities of Y3+ ion.
