Elaboration and characterization of transparent GdTaO4:Tb3+ thick films fabricated by sol–gel process

Electrical properties of Li doped sodium potassium niobate thick films prepared by a tape casting process

“…Piezoelectric thick films can be prepared by many techniques, such as screen printing, tape casting, composite sol-gel, electrophoretic deposition, ink-jet printing, and aerosol deposition [13][14][15][16]. Tape casting is among the most convenient and economic processes to fabricate thick films.…”

Photoluminescence and time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy of novel NaBa4(BO3)3:Tb3+ phosphor

“…Rare earth ions have been playing an important role in the phosphor materials due to their abundant emission colors based on their 4f-4f or 5d-4f transitions [9]. Among them, the emission spectrum of Tb 3+ ion often shows an intense line emission near 544 nm arising from the 5 D 4 → 7 F 5 transition [10][11][12][13][14]. So Tb 3+ activated "green" phosphors are combined with Eu 2+ activated blue phosphors and Eu 3+ activated red phosphors to provide "trichromatic" lighting technology, a high-efficiency white light for standard illumination uses in indoor lighting [15].…”

Phase Composition of Samarium Niobate and Tantalate Thin Films Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

“…in SNO. Samarium tantalate usually crystallize in three different structures at room temperature [30,32]. One belongs to I2/a symmetry or M-type (fergusonite structure), the other is P2/a symmetry or M´-type, which is true equilibrium phase at room temperature with the M-type modification and another is the high temperature tetragonal phase of the scheelite structure or T-type.…”
