Abstract

Caught on film: A semitransparent and intensely luminescent monolayer film of oriented Gd(2)O(3):0.05 Eu platelet crystallites is fabricated by annealing the precursor hydroxide film (see scheme). The photoluminescence properties of the as-transformed film are greatly improved over those of the hydroxide film, and are much more pronounced than those of the corresponding Gd(2)O(3):0.05 Eu powder.
