The PL xerogel and powder samples were prepared by solgel process. The emission spectra of all samples showed two broad bands peaking at 590 nm and 620 nm under UV-Vis excitation. But the relative intensity of red PL （620 nm） was much greater than that of green PL （590 nm） of the same sample, that s to say, the red color was the main luminescence. With heat-treatment temperature increase, the two kinds of colors PL intensity decreased, and both the red and green PL intensity of the xerogel samples was much greater than those of powder samples respectively. The XRD patterns revealed that Eu^3＋ ions were successfully incorporated in ZnO crystals in xerogel samples. When heat-treatment temperature reached 350 ℃, the Eu^3＋ began to separate out of the ZnO crystals and Eu2O3 crystals came into being. When the powder sample was subjected to UV-Vis excitation, the energy transfered from the host ZnO emission to Eu^3＋ became weaker than the xerogel sample.展开更多

The x-ray diffraction patterns indicate that Eu substitutes for Zn in the lattice. Ferromagnetic loops were obtained by using superconducting quantum interference device at 10 K and room temperature. No discontinuous change was found in both of the zero-field-cooled and field-cooled curves. The observed ferromagnetism in Eu-doped ZnO can be attributed to a single magnetic phase. The saturation magnetisation decreased remarkably for the Eu-doped ZnO prepared by introducing 5% of oxygen in the sputtering gas or by the post annealing in O2, suggesting that the defects play key roles in the development of ferromagnetism in Eu-doped ZnO films.展开更多

Besides, the influences of polyethyleneimine（PEI） on morphology, structure and photoelectric property of NW are observed by SEM, TEM, XRD, UV-vis and PL spectrum. According to the result, it manifests that Eu-doped ZnO NW array growth response experiences six mutually associated reaction processes in PEI-HMTA system：（a） chelation reaction of PEI and Zn^2＋ ＆ Eu^3＋;（b） protonation reaction of PEI and NH_3;（c） decomposition reaction of hexamethylenetetramine（HMTA）;（d） Mannich reaction of HCHO and PEI;（e） formation of precursor of Eu-doped ZnO;（f） dehydration condensation of Eu-doped ZnO precursors, further forming a doped ZnO NW array. Among them, PEI is the key factor of the whole doping growth reaction process. It both plays a role in modifying the growth of ZnO NW and makes it become longer and thinner. In the meantime, it also facilitates doping of Eu and enables ZnO NW to capture more photoelectrons and higher transmission rate, which is critical to improve photovoltaic performance of optoelectronic devices.展开更多
