Abstract

Barium-strontium titanate (Ba0.65Sr0.35TiO3) films doped with Ho3+(1mol%, 3mol%, 5mol%, 8mol%) were prepared by the sol-gel technique. The AFM, XRD, UV-Vis spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of BST films were investigated. Results show that the lattice parameters of BST films increase when Ho3+ dopant increases from 1mol% to 3mol% then decrease with Ho3+ dopant from 3mol% to 8mol%. The lights centered at about 615, 650 and 750nm are corresponding to the transitions of 5F35F7, 5F55F8 and 5S2, 5F45F7, respectively. The lifetime spectra of 5S2, 5F4 and three PL spectra above indicate that the luminescence intensity reach the maximum in 3mol% Ho3+ -doped BST films. The optimized Ho3+ dopant in BST films is 3mol%. The crossing relaxation mechanisms and site-substituting between H 3+ and Ba2+/Sr2+/Ti4+ are analyzed.
