Abstract :
Red-emitting Eu3+-doped indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) transparent thin films were fabricated using sol–gel method
under UV (254-nm irradiation) in nitrogen atmosphere (inside the glove box) and thermally annealed at 500°C for 1 h.
Structure, morphology, composition, and optical properties of the materials were examined using X-ray diffraction
analysis, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence, respectively.
