Er rare-earth ion incorporation in sol-gel SnO2

Er-doped SnO2 thin films and xerogels are obtained by sol-gel technique. In order to understand the Er³+ rare-earth ion activity in SnO2 matrix, a characterization of Er incorporation is done through emission and excitation spectra of xerogels, besides thin film electrical characterization. Effects...
