Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

ZnGa2O4 samples doped with Mn, Yb, Sm, and Tb have been prepared by a ceramic processing technique, and their 20°C photoluminescence spectra were measured. The results demonstrate that the four dopants have a significant effect on the photoluminescence of ZnGa2O4. Doping with Mn and Yb allows the peaks in the red spectral region to remain narrow and increases the PL intensity.
