Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of Sm doped Al2O3 coatings exhibit three distinct regions: the first region is related to Al2O3 PL band with a maximum positioned at about 410 nm, the second region in the range from 540 nm to 670 nm features sharp emission bands related to f–f transitions of Sm3+ ions from excited level 4G5/2 to lover levels 6HJ (J = 5/2, 7/2, 9/2), while the third region in the range from 670 nm to 750 nm is characterized by sharp emission bands corresponding to 5D0 → 7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2) transitions of Sm2+ ions. PL excitation spectrum monitored at 410 nm exhibits maximum at about 260 nm, while PL excitation spectrum monitored at the wavelength of the most intense PL of Sm3+ ions (transition 4G5/2 → 6H5/2 at 599 nm) can be divided into two regions. The broad band region from 240 nm to 300 nm with a maximum at about 250 nm is associated with the electron transfer transition from 2p orbital of O2- ions to 4 f orbital of Sm3+ ions, while the series of peaks ranging from 300 nm to 550 nm corresponds to direct excitation of the Sm3+ ground state 6H5/2 into higher levels. PL excitation spectrum obtained by monitoring the 688 nm (5D0 → 7F0) emission from Sm2+ ions shows three broad bands centered around 285 nm, 340 nm, and 480 nm, which arise from the 4f6 → 4f55d1 transitions of Sm2+ ions. Evolution of PL emission spectra excited at 250 nm indicates that at the beginning of PEO all incorporated samarium ions are present as Sm2+, while prolonged PEO process leads to oxidation of Sm2+ ions and their conversion to Sm3+ ions. |
