Dr. Evans et al., INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF GROWTH-CONDITIONS AND CODOPANTS ON THEEMISSION OF SRS-CE3-FILMS( THIN), Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 331-332
In this paper we use time-resolved spectroscopic techniques to investi
gate both the effect of varying growth conditions and the addition of
various codopants on the emission from SrS:Ce3+ thin films. The concen
tration dependence of the Ce3+ lifetime is also investigated and compa
red to the concentration dependence of the efficiency of the Ce3+ emis
sion. The effect of codopants including Sm, Pr and Ga on the Ce3+ life
time is also investigated.
