Mol% of europium doped strontium aluminate (SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu 2+) coatings on silicon substrates were prepared by electrostatic spray deposition method using a salted sol-gel derived solution as a starting material. Asdeposited films at 100 • C for 5 h were heated at 1100 • C for 2 h under a reducing ambient atmosphere of 95%N 2 + 5%H 2. Nanocrystalline SrAl 2 O 4 film was confirmed by surface morphological and crystallographic analyses. Monitored at 520 nm, the excitation spectrum showed a broad band from 300 ∼ 500 nm and the emission intensity showed a maximum yellow peak intensity at 512 nm with a broad band from 460 ∼ 610 nm.
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.
