Abstract
Sm3+-doped PVDF–SiO2, a polymer–phosphor hybrid material, was synthesized by a sol–gel method. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to study the chemical states and vibrational modes in Sm3+-doped PVDF–SiO2, respectively. The optical properties of Sm3+-doped PVDF–SiO2 were studied using absorption and photoluminescence spectra. The energy band gap was estimated from the absorption spectrum. Sm3+–ligand bond in the material was identified by estimating the bonding parameter from the absorption peaks. This study will serve to a better understanding of the luminescence process in Sm3+-doped PVDF–SiO2 hybrid.
