Luminescent properties of Y2SiO5:Ce thin films
(University of the Free State, 2010-05)
The luminescent properties of yttrium silicate doped with cerium (Y2SiO5:Ce) phosphor thin films were investigated. A detailed investigation (cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL) and Gaussian peak fits) was ...
Luminescent properties of synthesized PbS nanoparticle phosphors
(University of the Free State, 2008-08)
Luminescent lead sulphide (PbS) nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous silica (SiO2)
matrix were synthesized at room temperature by a sol-gel process. The prepared
nanocomposite materials were crushed into powders and ...
Degradation of ZnS:Cu,Au,Al phosphor powder and thin films under prolonged electron bombardment
(University of the Free State, 2001-10)
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and cathodoluminescence (CL), both excited by the
same electron beam, were used to monitor changes in surface composition and luminous
efficiency during electron bombardment. ZnS:Cu,Al,Au ...
Luminescence from lanthanide ions and the effect of co-doping in silica and other hosts
(University of the Free State, 2012-07)
Amorphous silica powders doped with lanthanide ions were synthesised by the sol-gel method and their cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) emissions were compared. Interesting differences depending on the ...
Synthesis and characterization of down−conversion nanophosphors
(University of the Free State, 2014-10)
Luminescent zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) nanoparticles, crystalline–low quartz and amorphous silica powders were incorporated with Ce3+ and Tb3+ ions. These powders were successfully synthesized by the solution combustion and ...
Characterization of Gd2O2S: Tb³+ phosphor powder and thin films
(University of the Free State, 2011-06)
Under Ultra violet (UV), cathode-ray and X-ray excitation, terbium activated rare earth oxysulphide (Gd2O2S:Tb3+) phosphors shows bright green luminescence. Due to its superior luminescent performance, Gd2O2S:Tb3+ phosphor ...
Characterization of SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ nano thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition
(University of the Free State, 2010-11)
English: Thin films of SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphor were deposited on silicon (Si (100)) substrates using a 248 nm KrF pulsed laser. Deposition parameters, namely; substrate temperature, pulse repetition rate, number of laser ...
Luminescence investigation of trivalent rare earth ions in sol-gel derived SiO₂ and ZnO co-doped SiO₂:Pr³⁺
(University of the Free State, 2011-05)
Tb3+-Pr3+ , Ce3+-Pr3+ , and Eu3+-Pr3+ ion pairs co-doped in SiO2 were successfully synthesized using a sol gel method to produce rare earth activated oxide nanophosphors. Green emitting ZnO nanoparticles were also successfully ...
Luminescence properties of Y2O3:Bi3+ as powder and thin film phosphor for solar cell application
(University of the Free State, 2015-07)
The luminescent properties of the bismuth doped yttrium oxide (Y2-xO3:Bix) phosphor material
was investigated as a powder and as thin films for possible application as a down-conversion
material for solar cells. The goal ...
Luminescence investigations of CaS:Eu2+ powder and pulsed laser deposited thin films for application in light emitting diodes
(University of the Free State, 2015-06)
The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the luminescent properties of commercial CaS:Eu2+ powder and pulsed laser deposited thin films for application in light emitting diodes. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray ...
