We report the luminescence characteristics of Sr(S,Se):Ce,Cl thin film electroluminescent devices, fabricated by co-evaporation of SrS:Ce,Cl pellet and elemental Se. From the electroluminescence spectra measurements for varied S:Se mole ratio and temperature, it is found that the relative intensity of green emission band to blue emission band decreases with increasing lattice constant of the host lattice. This can be qualitatively accounted for as being caused by a nonradiative energy transfer from the emission band of Ce3+ to the absorption band due to defects associated with anion vacancies in the host lattice.
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.
