Ítem Influence of Cation Substitution on the Complex Structure andLuminescent Properties of the ZnkIn2Ok+3System(ACS Publications, 2020-06-25) García-Fernández, Javier; Torres-Pardo, Almudena; Bartolomé, Javier; Martínez-Casado, Ruth; Zhang, Qing; Ramírez-Castellanos, Julio; Terasaki, Osamu; Cremades, Ana; González-Calbet, Jose MaríaThe effect of In3+ substitution by Ga3+ or Al3+ on the structure and luminescent properties of Zn7In2–xMxO10 (M = Ga or Al; 0 ≤ x ≤ 1) oxides has been investigated by means of high spatial resolution X-ray spectroscopy and high-angle annular dark-field images, combined with magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Local structural variations have been identified for the Al- and Ga-doped samples through the analysis of atomically resolved chemical maps and the identification of their structural environment within the wurtzite lattice. In3+ is distributed in a zig-zag modulation, while Al3+ and Ga3+ are located in a flat distribution at the center of the wurtzite block. Density functional theory calculations provide unambiguous evidence for the preferential flat location of Ga3+ and Al3+ associated with the different strains introduced in the structure as a result of their ionic radii. The characterization of the photoluminescence response reveals the appearance of new radiative recombination pathways for the doped materials because of the presence of new defect levels in the band gap of the Zn7In2O10 structure.
