Abstract
This study investigates the potential of Ho3+ doped BaTiO3 perovskite phosphor, synthesized via the sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed a hexagonal crystallographic structure (P63/mmc), consistent with JCPDS card no. 82-1175. The shifts in the XRD pattern suggest that the concentration of Ho3+ ions influence the structure. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is used to study the vibrational behavior of the synthesized perovskite phosphor. The diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) presented several bands in the UV–Vis regions due to Ho3+ ions. The bandgap for Ho3+-doped BaTiO3 was calculated as 2.8 eV, which aligns with the literature values. This value was derived from fitting the Tauc equation to the absorption coefficient data. Extensive photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy revealed sharp excitation and emission spectra. The PL spectrum, corresponding to an excitation wavelength of 456 nm, exhibited a dominant green emission at 540 nm that corresponds to the 5F4/5S2 → 5I8 transition, suggesting its suitability for a green-emitting phosphor. Concentration quenching optimization occurred beyond 0.015 mol Ho3+ ions. The CIE color coordinates and color purity analysis confirmed the phosphor’s suitability for green-emitting applications. Preliminary results suggest that this research highlights the potential of the phosphor for green light generation and advancing solid-state lighting technology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) reports monthly on the science and technology of electronic materials, while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, dielectrics, nanoscale materials, and photonic materials. The journal welcomes articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical, electronic, and optical properties of these materials. Specific areas of interest are materials for state-of-the-art transistors, nanotechnology, electronic packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization, superconductivity, and energy applications.
Review papers on current topics enable individuals in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas peripheral to their own. JEM also selects papers from conferences such as the Electronic Materials Conference, the U.S. Workshop on the Physics and Chemistry of II-VI Materials, and the International Conference on Thermoelectrics. It benefits both specialists and non-specialists in the electronic materials field.
A journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
