Abstract
X-ray microbeam techniques (spot size=3×20 μm2) have been applied to characterize the composition and structure of rare earth activated Gd(La, Sr)AlO3 phosphor thin films grown by combinatorial synthesis. Using x-ray fluorescence, x-ray diffraction and near-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy, we have measured the chemical composition, crystallographic structure, and valence state of the rare earth activator atom Eu. These measurements represent the direct application of x-ray techniques to solid-state materials prepared by combinatorial synthesis and demonstrate the power of x-ray microbeam analysis to nondestructively characterize as-grown combinatorial libraries.
