研究目的
To investigate the lattice damage and photoluminescence properties of RbTiOPO4 crystals induced by europium ion implantation and subsequent thermal annealing.
研究成果
Eu implantation causes lattice damage and amorphous layer formation in RbTiOPO4 crystals. Thermal annealing at 600°C and 700°C leads to partial damage recovery, Rb evaporation, and Eu diffusion. PL performance improves significantly after annealing, with strong emission peaks characteristic of Eu, and shows good stability from 5K to 300K. Annealing reduces non-radiative recombination, enhancing luminescence activation, making the material suitable for optoelectronic applications across a range of temperatures.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific implantation energy and fluence, annealing temperatures, and material (RbTiOPO4). The effects of other rare earth ions or different crystal orientations were not explored. The PL measurements are dependent on the excitation source and may not cover all optical properties.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
RbTiOPO4 crystals were implanted with 400keV Eu ions at room temperature to a fluence of 5×1015 ions/cm2, tilted by 7° to avoid channelling effect. Additive isochronal thermal annealing was performed in Ar atmosphere at 600°C and 700°C for 30 min. Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and RBS in channelling mode (RBS/C) were used with 1.4 MeV and 2.1 MeV He+ ions to analyze lattice damage and elemental distributions. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements were conducted using a He-Cd laser for excitation, and temperature-dependent PL from 5K to 300K was studied. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used for surface morphology analysis. SIMNRA and SRIM simulations were employed for data analysis.
