Yb3+ effect on the spectroscopic properties of Er–Yb codoped SnO2 thin films

Effect of the dopant on the structural and hyperfine parameters of Sn0.95M0.05O2 nanoparticles (M: V, Mn, Fe, Co)

“…From other approach, regarding its application as a gas sensor, the incorporation of TM elements changes its sensitivity, selectivity and time response [3]. Besides TM elements, trivalent rare earth (RE) elements are used as dopants because they provide advantageous features without altering the main properties that define the system as a transparent-conducting oxide [4][5][6]. Additionally, incorporation of a RE element can induce highly attractive optoelectronic properties positioning these materials as possible candidates for the development of different devices such as LEDs and lasers [7].…”

Structural, optical and electrical properties of Nd-doped SnO2 thin films fabricated by reactive magnetron sputtering for solar cell devices

“…Moreover, SnO 2 exhibits a high transparency in the visible range and a strong reflectivity in the NIR region [16]. In addition to the TCO properties, SnO 2 can be doped with trivalent rare earth elements (RE) such as Yb, Er, Eu, Ce, Sm and Nd [17][18][19][20][21], which generates novel properties without affecting transparency or other key properties thanks to the photoluminescence properties of these ions.…”

Spectroscopic investigation of Er3+ in fluorotellurite glasses for 2.7 μm luminescence

“…The large variation in Ω 2 indicates that this parameter is more sensitive to the environment than the other two parameters (Ω 4 and Ω 6 ). The higher Ω 2 value, obtained for a concentration of 3 mol% Er 2 O 3 , is indicative of high covalent bonding resulting from the important doping level [30]. It is reported by Tanabe et al [31,32] that Some important radiative parameters can be calculated by using the intensity parameters Ω t to estimate the potential mid-infrared emission performance.…”
