Optical properties of Yb-doped ZnO/MgO nanocomposites
چکیده انگلیسی

Yb3+ doped ZnO/MgO nanocomposite were prepared by combustion synthesis method. The samples were further heated to 1000 °C to improve their crystallinity and photoluminescent efficiency. The concentrations of Yb3+ and Mg2+ were varied between 1–2% and 5–70% respectively in prepared samples. The nano-powders were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Diffraction for morphology and structural determination. XRD studies have revealed the wurtzite structure for MgxZn1−xO for Mg concentrations below 30%. Higher concentrations of Mg results in Yb3+ doped ZnO/MgO nanocomposite containing three phases; the wurzite hexagonal phase typical of ZnO, the cubic phase of MgO and a small amount of cubic Yb2O3 phase. As expected, the amount of cubic phase in nano-powders increased with the increase of Mg concentration in ZnO. The crystallite size of ZnO/MgO composites decreased from 55 nm to 30 nm with increase of Mg content. SEM images of Yb3+ doped ZnO/MgO nanocomposite with higher Mg content (>50%) showed clearly distinct hexagonal and cubical shaped nano-particles. Photoluminescent emission showed a broad band in the range (435 nm to 700 nm). Pure ZnO nano-phosphor showed an emission peak around 545 nm, which is blue shifted with Mg content. The photoluminescence intensity increased with increase of Mg content in ZnO and it became maximum with 30% Mg concentration. Time resolved decay curves of photoluminescence indicated decay time in microsecond time scale.
