“…The PL spectra (Figure ) have been deconvoluted for each sample properly. , We have calculated the value of excitation potential energy of each peaks observed at wavelengths 422, 466.75, 554.27, 671.12, 690.76, 705.44, and 757 nm as 2.95, 2.66, 2.24, 1.85, 1.80, 1.76, and 1.64 eV, respectively. The slight energy difference occurring with increasing Zr 4+ concentration was due to the presence of oxygen vacancies, formation of defects, and quantum confinements .…”
