Abstract

We grew (ErxSc1-x)2O3 films on Si(111) as a function of x using the molecular beam epitaxy method. The films were characterized by synchrotron grazing incidence and normal X-ray diffraction, cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence measurements in spectrum and time domains. We succeeded in obtaining (ErxSc1-x)2O3 films on Si(111) that are strained and exhibit 1.5-m light emission from Er3+ ions at 4 K and room temperature. We found that the epitaxial Er-doped Sc2O3 films are better candidates as a light emitting material than epitaxial layers of Er2O3 on Si(111).
