Abstract:
Nowadays, most photochromic ferroelectric materials strongly rely on thermal stimulation to achieve color recovery after light irradiation, seriously restricting their down-to-earth application in devices. Here, we report a sort of rare earth doped potassium sodium niobate thick films, whose photochromism can be completely restored without any external stimulation. Through real-time monitoring of up conversion photoluminescence spectra and reflectivity spectra after removing UV irradiation, along with the thermoluminescence spectra, a possible mechanism based on ion doping induced trap redistribution is proposed. Generally, the emergence of intermediate energy level induced by rare earth ion doping is a crucial factor for this spontaneous behavior. The energy level depth of defects in the thick films are shallower and the trap distances are shorter, facilitating the carrier transmission and recombination efficiency, thereby promoting the reversible self-recovery process of photochromism at room temperature. Therefore, an Er3+ doped potassium sodium niobate thick films with room temperature self-recovery photochromism were prepared, which could increase the types of potential photo chromic self-recovery materials and accelerate the fundamental understanding and practical applications.
