摘要
We studied the deep-ultraviolet emission properties of Al0.999Gd0.001 N thin films pumped by an electron beam. The Al0.999Gd0.001 N thin films were grown on fused silica substrates using an ultra-pure reactive sputtering technique. The intra-orbital electron transition of the Gd3+ ions in Al0.999Gd0.001 N showed an extremely narrow luminescence line at 318 nm. We fabricated field-emission devices using an Al0.999Gd0.001 N phosphor thin film and analyzed the dependence of the device characteristics on the injected current and acceleration voltage. The maximum output power was 1.0 mW/cm(2). The excitation cross section was of the order of 10(-13) cm(2) and was found to depend on the acceleration voltage. These results indicate that injected high-energy electrons multiply excite Gd3+ ion. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4705416]
