Synthesis and properties of thin films made from suspension on the basis of powder composite yttrium aluminum, doped with terbium

Abstract

The results of synthesis and analysis of the film structures fabricated from suspensions based on titanium dioxide sol and terbium-doped yttrium aluminum composite powder are presented. The film structures comprising titania with terbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet grains were fabricated by sol-gel method on the textured aluminum foil. The synthesized samples reveal strong room temperature terbium photoluminescence with the most intensive band at 543 nm.
