Abstract
AbstractThe growth, structural and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of europium activated yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) thin films are reported. The Eu:Y2O3 films were grown in-situ using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Our results show that Eu:Y2O3 films can grow epitaxially on (100) LaAlO3 substrates under optimized deposition parameters. The epitaxial growth of Eu:Y2O3 films on LaAlO3, which has a lattice mismatch of ∼ 60 %, is explained by matching of the atom positions in the lattices of the film and the substrate after a rotation. CL data from these films are consistent with highly crystalline Eu:Y2O3 films with an intense CL emission at 611 nm.
