Luminescent properties and the energy transfer from host to Ce 3+ ions are analyzed in single crystalline films (SCF) of YAlO 3 :Ce (YAP:Ce), Y 1−x Lu x AP:Ce (YLuAP:Ce) and LuAlO 3 :Ce (LuAP:Ce) perovskites in comparison with their single crystal (SC) analogues using the timeresolved luminescence spectroscopy under synchrotron radiation excitation. It is shown that the main peculiarity of luminescent properties of YAP:Ce, YLuAP:Ce and LuAG:Ce SCF is determined by the extremely low concentration of Y Al and Lu Al antisite defects and vacancy-type defects in SCF as compared to SC. The advantages of phosphors based on (Y-Lu)AP:Ce SCF are due to the absence of emission and trapping centers in these SCF which are connected with the above mentioned bulk crystal defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
