a b s t r a c tIn this letter, we report a detailed study of the influence of the synthesis and the optical properties of Sr-doped MgTO 3 powders synthesized via a polymeric precursor method. Our findings explain the shift in PL behavior from blue to near-infrared (NIR) emission, which is caused by different concentrations of deep and shallow defects in the samples and thus enables the design of differently colored materials. Additionally, the present results provide useful insights into designing a new series of NIR-emitting materials that have potential applications in emerging technologies ranging from optoelectronics to the biomedical field.
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.
