High intensity orange-red emission of chemically deposited Sm3+-doped ZrO2 thin films - Beneficial effects of host and dopant

Samarium doped (0.5–5 at.%) ZrO2 films with high surface and optical quality were obtained by sol–gel method using inorganic zirconium precursor. The morphology and roughness of the samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A phase transition...
