Abstract
The growth, structural and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of europium activated yttrium oxide (EuiYjC) thin films are reported. The Eu:Y2Oj films were grown in-situ using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Our results show that Eu:Y2O.i films can grow epitaxially on (100) LaAlOj substrates under optimized deposition parameters. The epitaxial growth of EurYaOj films on LaAlOj, which has a lattice mismatch of - 60 %, is explained by matching of the atom positions in the lattices of the film and the substrate after a rotation. CL data from these films are consistent with highly crystalline Eu:Y2U3 films with an intense CL emission at 611 nm.
