Abstract

We report the realization of near-white light emission (near-WLE) and the selective tuning to the near-infrared (NIR) luminescence from Ga substituted lanthanum chromite perovskite with electron-beam excitation for the first time. The near-WLE in Cathodoluminescence (CL), arises from the combination of ⁴T₁(F)→⁴A₂(blue), ⁴T₁(P)→⁴A₂(green) and ⁴T₂→⁴A₂(red) spin allowed transitions and ²E→⁴A₂ spin forbidden transitions from the Cr³⁺ ion. The spin allowed transitions from the Cr³⁺ ions is rare, however can be accomplished by adjusting the Cr³⁺/Ga³⁺ ion concentration in the host lattice. The NIR emission originates from the selective ²E→⁴A₂ transition, which increases with the increasing concentration of Ga³⁺ions. Moreover, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations point out the presence of extra electronic states in the NIR region with Ga substitution, which elucidates the observation of NIR emission in Ga substituted samples.
