Epitaxial growth of Yb/Er co-doped HfO2 films with coexisting ferroelectric and luminescent properties
We report on the fabrication of high-quality Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doped HfO2 epitaxial films using pulsed laser deposition. The host material HfO2 has relatively low phonon energy, which is desirable to inhibit the nonradiative relaxation. The dopant Yb3+ is used to stabilize the ferroelectric o-phase and also acts as the sensitizer to enhance the optical absorption cross section, while Er3+ is the luminescence activator. The films exhibit robust ferroelectricity with a remanent polarization of 12 μC/cm2 and comparable endurance performance to HfO2-based epitaxial films reported before. The up- and downconversion luminescence properties were ascertained by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped HfO2 films with coexisting ferroelectric and luminescent functionalities may suggest a promising approach toward electric field tunable phosphors.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
