摘要/Abstract

摘要： We present in this paper a study of the structural and photoluminescence (PL) properties of terbium (Tb) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized by a simple low temperature chemical precipitation method, using zinc acetate and terbium nitrate in an isopropanol medium with diethanolamine (DEA) as the capping agent at 60 ℃. The as-prepared samples were heat treated and the PL of the annealed samples were studied. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD patterns show the pattern of typical ZnO nanoparticles and correspond with the standard XRD pattern given by JCPDS card No. 36-1451, showing the hexagonal phase structure. The PL intensity was enhanced due to Tb³⁺ doping, and it decreased at higher concentrations of Tb³⁺ doping after reaching a certain optimum concentration. The PL spectra of Tb³⁺ doped samples exhibited blue, bluish green, and green emissions at 460 nm (⁵D₃ - ⁷F₃), 484 nm (⁵D₄ - ⁷F₆), and 530 nm (⁵D₄ - ⁷F₅), respectively, which were more intense than the emissions for the undoped ZnO sample. Based on the results, an energy level schematic diagram was proposed to explain the possible electron transition processes.
