Abstract

Photoluminescence properties of Eu-doped ZnO grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique are investigated. Under the UV light excitation, Eu³⁺-related red emissions are observed, which reveals that an energy transfer exists from the ZnO host to the Eu³⁺ ions. By carrying out temperature dependent behavior of the time-resolved photoluminescence, we confirm the lifetime is likely associated with transitions including both temperature insensitive radiative decay and temperature sensitive non-radiative decay mechanisms. So a rate-equation model is used to analyze the population dynamics and the transitions between different states and decay constants for the relaxation processes are obtained. The study suggests that the energy transfer efficiency from the ZnO host to the Eu³⁺ ions is reduced above 80 K.
