Abstract
AbstractStructural and photoluminescence (PL) properties of Zn2(1-x)MnxSiO4 (1 ≤ x ≤ 5) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and morphological studies of ZnGa2O4:Mn thin film green emitting phosphors grown using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique have been investigated. Zn2(1-x)MnxSiO4 thin films grown on Si substrate at 700°C in 300 mTorr of oxygen partial pressure, upon ex-situ annealing at higher temperatures exhibit superior PL intensity. ZnGa2O4:Mn phosphor thin films grown on quartz substrate at 650oC and in-situ annealed in 300mTorr of oxygen partial pressure show better emission intensity. For both Zn2SiO4:Mn and ZnGa2O4:Mn phosphors, luminescence can be assigned to 4T1 – 6A1 transition of Mn2+ within the 3d orbital giving rise to emission at 525 and 503 nm, respectively.
