) films were prepared by the dip-coating technique using a non-alkoxide precursor sol-gel method in ethanolic medium. Photoluminescence spectra displayed the main excitation bands at 270 and 393 nm. The emission spectra of the film heated at 500 ºC displayed bands at 578, 590, 612, 650 and 698 nm, assigned to the
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.
