Fabrication of Sm2O3 nano-particle – Transparent urethane resin composite films and its PL properties
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Using a solution of samarium nitrate and ethanol and a UV-curable liquid urethane resin as starting materials, we fabricated samarium (III)oxide (Sm2O3) nanoparticle-based composite films. The color of the films turned from yellow (of the precursor) to reddish orange after being cured by UV irradiation. The particle size of the Sm2O3 in the composite film were measured using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and observed to be in the range of 56–86 nm. Moreover, the crystallographic structure of the particles was analyzed via TEM and selected area electron diffraction. The composite film exhibited photoluminescent (PL) properties with a peak at 640 nm (corresponding to the transition 4G5/2 → 6H9/2) upon irradiation with light at a wavelength of 340 nm. Furthermore, upon extended UV light irradiation, some of the trivalent Sm3+ of Sm2O3 particles in the films were reduced to Sm2+, which was confirmed by the PL peaks observed at 683 nm and 731 nm (attributed to the divalent Sm2+).
