AbstractWe report on strong Er3+ luminescence in the visible and infra-red regions at room temperature in amorphous GaN:Er thin films prepared by DC magnetron co-sputtering. The intensity of the Er3+ luminescence at 1.535 μm corresponding to 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transitions is greatly enhanced after annealing at 750°C. In this material GaN crystallites have formed and embedded in the continuous amorphous matrix. The crystallites are 4 to 7 nm in diameter as analyzed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The absorption edge, extending three orders of magnitude in absorption coefficient in the spectral range from 0.5 to 3.5 eV, is superimposed on resonant absorption bands of Er3+ ions.The total photoluminescence spectrum consists of welldefined Er3+ luminescence peaks imposed on a broad band edge luminescence from the amorphous GaN host matrix.

Biopolymer and its cross-linker (Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate, MDI) were blended by weight 2:1. This is mixed with different percentages of pretreated graphite. The mixture was prepared by slip casting as thin films, at thickness of ~0.1 mm. The interface-morphology-structure relations of graphite/ biopolymer composites was diagnosed by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer. The homogeneously dispersed and strong interface between the graphite with/ within the biopolymer matric influenced the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the thin films where the percolation threshold occurs at higher graphite loading (20 wt.%, 25 wt.% and 30 wt.%) gives conductivity of 103 - 104 S/m. Remarkably, graphite/ biopolymer composites makes it possible to prepare better mechanical behavior with stiff, strong yet tough properties compared with those of its neat counterpart.

AbstractUltra-thin films with low surface roughness that support surface plasmon-polaritons in the infra-red and visible ranges are needed in order to improve the performance of devices based on the manipulation of plasmon propagation. Increasing amount of efforts is made in order not only to improve the quality of the deposited layers but also to diminish their thickness and to find new materials that could be used in this field. In this review, we consider various thin films used in the field of plasmonics and metamaterials in the visible and IR range. We focus our presentation on technological issues of their deposition and reported characterization of film plasmonic performance.
