Abstract:Ultra-long, single crystal, Eu-doped α-Si3N4 nanowires were prepared by a simple approach involving nitriding Eu-doped cryomilled nanocrystalline Si powder in NH3 flow at 1350 °C for 4 h. Phases, chemical composition and microcosmic feature of cryomilled powders and as-prepared nanowires were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results suggested that Eu was successfully introduced into Si lattice after… Show more
“…In most cases only Eu-and Tb-doped a-Si 3 N 4 thin lms and nanowires illustrating broad band emission are concerned. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Here we use the expression doping explicitly as this is given in the references.…”

“…This indicated that if some luminescence spectra may seem very similar overall at rst sight, it turns out that denitely some changes are observed. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]…”

The adsorption of europium and terbium at the grain boundaries of bulk β-Si3N4 and β-Ge3N4 and the synergic combination of both results in intriguing luminescence properties of all compounds (red, green, orange and yellow).

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.
