The first synthesis of single phased gallium oxysulfide (b-Ga 2 O 3Àx S x ), gallium oxyselenide (b-Ga 2 O 3Àx Se x ) and gallium oxytelluride (b-Ga 2 O 3Àx Te x ) was actualized. The luminescence intensity of Ga 2 O 2:95 S 0:05 is the highest of the above samples, i.e., it shows fourfold enhancement in comparison with that of Ga 2 O 3 . Furthermore, the intensity of Ga 2 O 2:95 Se 0:05 and Ga 2 O 2:95 Te 0:05 is lower than that of Ga 2 O 3 . Those trends are attributed to the two effects of the electron delocalization and the distance between donor and acceptor. The spectra of VIb-ion-doped samples, i.e., Ga 2 O 2:95 S 0:05 , Ga 2 O 2:95 Se 0:05 and Ga 2 O 2:95 Te 0:05 , show a redshift behavior by 10 nm in comparison with that of Ga 2 O 3 . The redshift behavior can be explained by the Nephelauxetic effect. Our results showed a means of achieving emission intensity enhancement through changing the cation environment in b-Ga 2 O 3 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
