Abstract

In the present study, lanthanum oxytellurate (LOT) samples with varying La : Te ratios are successfully synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method that has enormous advantages. The prepared samples crystallize in a La2O6Te composite phase with an orthorhombic crystal system. A nanorod-like morphology is observed for each sample, and the presence of constituent elements is verified from EDX results. Chemical compositions and their oxidation states are obtained from XPS studies. Optical studies of the materials demonstrated band gap values between 2.65 and 2.78 eV, confirming the LOT samples’ semiconducting nature. Broad photoluminescence (PL) spectra with peaks ranging between 650 and 750 nm were observed, and a red shift occurred by increasing the Te concentration in the samples. Overall, the samples exhibit good photoresponse characteristics under dark and light conditions with high Ion/Ioff ratios and sensitivity values. These parameters confirm the potential of LOT materials to stand out as an alternative for susceptible and effective photodetector devices. Among the samples, LOT-2 showed 10.64 μA W−1 responsivity, 5.8 × 107 Jones of detectivity, and a rise and fall time of 16.25 and 23.13 s, respectively, which was the best photodetection performance compared to the other two samples. Results from the nonlinear optical (NLO) Z-scan study demonstrated the RSA behavior and valley-peak configuration with positive n2 values corresponding to the self-focusing effect. The NLO characteristics of the materials are governed by the two-photon absorption (2PA) mechanism. Here, the LOT-2 sample displayed comparatively better results than the other two. The third-order nonlinear optical NLO susceptibility χ(3) values suggest that LOT materials have the potential to become a new candidate for various NLO applications in the coming days.

水热合成La2O6Te纳米棒中增强双光子吸收的可见光光检测
本研究采用简单的水热法成功合成了不同(La: Te比)的碲酸镧(LOT)样品,该方法具有巨大的优势。制备的样品在具有正交晶系的La2O6Te复合相中结晶。观察每个样品的纳米棒形态,并从EDX结果验证组成元素的存在。化学成分和氧化态由XPS研究得到。材料的光学研究表明,带隙值在2.65和2.78 eV之间,证实了LOT样品的半导体性质。在650 ~ 750 nm范围内观察到宽光致发光(PL)光谱,并通过提高样品中Te的浓度发生红移。总的来说,样品在黑暗和光照条件下都表现出良好的光响应特性,具有较高的离子/电离比和灵敏度值。这些参数证明了LOT材料作为敏感和有效的光电探测器设备的替代方案的潜力。其中LOT-2的响应率为10.64AW-1,探测率为5.8 × 107 Jones,上升和下降时间分别为16.25和23.13秒,是其他两种样品中光电探测性能最好的。非线性光学(NLO) z -扫描研究结果表明,自聚焦效应对应于RSA行为和正n2值的谷峰构型。材料的NLO特性是由双光子吸收(2PA)机制控制的。在这里,LOT-2样品比其他两个样品显示出相对更好的结果。三阶非线性光学NLO磁化率χ(3)值表明,LOT材料有可能成为未来寻找各种NLO应用的新候选材料。
