摘要
Efficient blue electroluminescence peak at around 440 nm with a maximum output power density of 34 mW/cm(2) was obtained from Ce and Gd coimplanted metal-oxide-semiconductor light emitting devices. Energy transfer from Gd3+ to Ce3+ ions was observed during the excitation process, leading to a more than threefold increase of the external quantum efficiency of the blue Ce3+ luminescence up to 1.8%. This is evidenced by the increase of the excitation cross section of Ce3+ ions from 4.8x10(-13) to 3.5x10(-12) cm(2) and the simultaneous reduction of the decay time and the impact cross section of Gd3+ ions.
