Abstract

We synthesized RF co-sputtered Eu2O3, Si and SiO2 on quartz substrates at different temperatures, and with and without the presence of H2 gas during sputtering. The photoluminescence of the samples was measured using both the 514.5nm green line and 457.9nm blue line of an Ar laser. The samples were then annealed, their luminescence remeasured, and the process repeated for a range of temperatures from 470°C to 1084°C. The effects of substrate temperature, presence or absence of H2, annealing, and the use of the green or blue line on the observed luminescence are presented.
