Item type:Publication, Fabrication and luminescence properties in Yb–Tb co-doped a-SiCO thin films(VBRI Press, 2020-07-24)Amorphous silicon oxycarbide (a-SiCxOy) single doped with Yb3+ and co-doped with the couple Tb3+ - Yb3+ thin films were grown on crystalline silicon substrates by rf magnetron sputtering. The elemental composition in at. % is determined by energy dispersive spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy allows to investigate the chemical properties of the host. The concentration of Yb in the single doped sample was 3.5% and for the codoped samples (Yb, Tb) were (3%, 0.9%), (3.5%, 0.6%) and (4%, 0.6%), respectively. Post-deposition annealing treatments were made in order to induce optical activation of the rare earths. Conversion or absorption of high energy photons were analyzed by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The photoluminescence spectra show that for a given temperature range in the thermal annealing process, as well as for the appropriate rare earth concentrations the activation of Yb3+ and Tb3+ is enhanced. A strong reduction of the Tb3+ emission in contrast to the Yb3+ emission in the a-SiCxOy,:Tb:Yb samples at annealing temperature at 500°C suggests a energy transfer from Tb3+ to Yb3+ ions.

Item type:Publication, Strain and grain size of CeO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles: comparing structural and morphological methods(MDPI, 2021-06-07)Various crystallite size estimation methods were used to analyze X-ray diffractograms of spherical cerium dioxide and donut-like titanium dioxide anatase nanoparticles aiming to evaluate their reliability and limitations. The microstructural parameters were estimated from Scherrer, Monshi, Williamson-Hall, and their variants: i) uniform deformation model, ii) uniform strain deformation model, and iii) uniform deformation energy density model, and also size-strain plot, and Halder-Wagner method. For that, and improved systematic Matlab code was developed to estimate the crystallite sizes and strain, and the linear regression analysis was used to compare all the models based on the coefficient of determination, where the Halder Wagner method gave the highest value (close to 1). Therefore, being the best candidate to fit the X-ray Diffraction data of metal-oxide nanoparticles. Advanced Rietveld was introduced for comparison purposes. Refined microstructural parameters were obtained from a nanostructured 40.5 nm Lanthanum hexaboride nanoparticles and correlated with the above estimation methods and transmission electron microscopy images. In addition, electron density modelling was also studied for final refined nanostructures, and μ-Raman spectra were recorded for each material estimating the mean crystallite size and comparing by means of a phonon confinement model.
