Optical and electrical characterization of samaria-doped ceria

Absorption and emission properties of Zr-doped nanoceria synthesised by co-precipitation-hydrothermal treatment route

“…[42] A significant enhancement in the emission band is observed in the spectrum of pure nanostructured CeO 2 when compared to the Zr-doped CeO 2 which could be due to the fact that the d electrons of cerium couple differently to the lattice phonon in the cubic fluorite structure. [43] Similar behaviour has been reported for ceria synthesised by sol gel route. Surface accumulation/incorporation of doped Zr/ZrÀEu may result in defects which are responsible for quenching of PL spectra.…”

Optical and structural properties of nanostructured CeO2:Tb3+ film

“…In recent years some attempt have been performed for the preparation of RE ion doped cerium oxide by various techniques such as pyrolysis [4], solvothermal synthesis [2,14], sonochemical synthesis [15], the two-stage co-precipitation process [16,17], sol-gel process [1,8], solid-state ceramic reactions [18], microwave irradiation [19] and so on [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Relatively few reports are based on structural and optical properties of RE ions doped CeO 2 [1,[15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…Relatively few reports are based on structural and optical properties of RE ions doped CeO 2 [1,[15][16][17][18][19]. Fujihara et al, used spin-on/pyrolysis method for deposition of luminescent thin films of Eu 3+ and Sm 3+ doped CeO 2 on quartz glass substrate [4].…”

Structural and optical study of samarium doped cerium oxide thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation

“…The CeO 2 based films have high refractive index (between 1.6 and 2.4), dc permittivity and transparency in the visible and, near-and mid-IR [21][22][23][24][25]. The direct band gap of CeO 2 films varies between 3.2 and 3.6 eV.…”
