Photoluminescent Properties of Y2O3:Tb3+ Nanowires in AAO

Article Preview

Abstract:

Uniform Y2O3:Tb3+ nanowires with diameters of about 70 nm were fabricated using the anodic aluminum oxide template (AAO). The Y2O3:Tb3+ nanowires and Y2O3:Tb3+/AAO composite were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and spectrofluorometer techniques. The Y2O3:Tb3+ nanowires are amorphous phase in symmetry as the annealing temperature was lower than 1000 °C. And the cubic Y2O3: Tb3+ nanowires were formed partly as the annealing temperature approached to 1000 °C. The spectral measurements indicate that the excitation and emission intensity increased with the increasing annealing temperature as well as annealing time. The lifetime of 5D4-7F5 transition becomes longer with the increasing annealing temperature and time in Y2O3:Tb3+/AAO composite.
