Abstract

$Dy^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$-co-doped $La_2MoO_6$ phosphor thin films were deposited on sapphire substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering at various growth temperatures. The phosphor thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectrometry. The optical transmittance, absorbance, bandgap, and photoluminescence intensity of the $La_2MoO_6$ phosphor thin films were found to depend on the growth temperature. The XRD patterns demonstrated that all the phosphor thin films, irrespective of growth temperatures, had a tetragonal structure. The phosphor thin film deposited at a growth temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ indicated an average transmittance of 85.3% in the 400~1,100 nm wavelength range and a bandgap energy of 4.31 eV. As the growth temperature increased, the bandgap energy gradually decreased. The emission spectra under ultraviolet excitation at 268 nm exhibited an intense red emission line at 616 nm and a weak emission line at 699 nm due to the $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ and $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_4$ transitions of the $Eu^{3+}$ ions, respectively, and also featured a yellow emission band at 573 nm, resulting from the $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$ transition of the $Dy^{3+}$ ions. The results suggest that $La_2MoO_6$ phosphor thin films can be used as light-emitting layers for inorganic thin film electroluminescent devices.
