Characterization of Er2O3 ceramic coatings by luminescence measurements

Assignments of the Raman modes of monoclinic erbium oxide

“…As such, Er 3þ has potential applications in optoelectronic devices as layer transformers of IR radiation to visible radiation (upconversion). [3][4][5] Er 3þ has an intense emission band near 1.54 lm, wherein the optical absorption of silica fibers is the lowest, thus making it a prospective material for applications in the telecommunications industry as a light emission component. 6 Moreover, numerous studies on Er 2 O 3 coatings have revealed the potential applications of these materials as tritium diffusion barriers, 7,8 corrosion-resistant electrical insulation layers, 9 and radiation-resistant layers 10 in nuclear fusion.…”

“…As mentioned earlier, Er 3þ exhibits abundant absorption and radiation bands in the visible and IR regions. [3][4][5][18][19][20][21][22] When the excitation wavelength is near the absorption bands of Er 3þ , the excited spectrum may contain Raman vibrational signals and photoluminescent signals; thus, unambiguously identifying Raman modes is difficult. In addition, pure B-Er 2 O 3 is not available in single-crystal form; thus, its vibrational modes cannot be assigned through polarized Raman scattering spectroscopy.…”

Progress in the development of insulator coating for liquid lithium blankets

“…However, this change could be caused by the formation of local electric passes by the irradiation [38]. Ion beam-induced luminescence was measured to investigate the effects of ion irradiation damage on crystalline structures [39]. The decrease in the luminescence peak in a wavelength range of 640-690 nm was observed, showing the effects of radiation-induced defects.…”
