Abstract
Luminescence spectra and photoluminescence excitation spectra of Y2O3:Bi and Y3Al5O12:Bi thin films were investigated. Luminescence was stimulated by the emission from two types of centers that were associated with the substitution of Bi3+ for Y3+ in sites of the crystal lattice of Y2O3 (Y3Al5O12) with point symmetries C2 and C3i (D2 and C3i). The emission of Bi3+ in the site with point symmetry C3i causes blue luminescence in both Y2O3:Bi and Y3Al5O12:Bi films with maxima at 3.03 eV and 3.15 eV, respectively, that is related to the 3P1-1S0 transition. The emission of Bi3+ in the site with point symmetry C2 gives green luminescence in Y2O3:Bi with the maximum at 2.40 eV that is also related to the 3P1-1S0 transition. The emission of Bi3+ in the site with point symmetry D2 leads to ultraviolet luminescence in Y3Al5O12:Bi with the maximum at 3.75 eV that corresponds to the 3P1-1S0 transition. The red luminescence band with the maximum at 1.85 eV in Y2O3:Bi is due to the presence of structural defects.
