Structure and Photoluminescence Properties of β-Ga2O3 Nanofibres Synthesized via Electrospinning Method

This paper reported the β-Ga2O3 nanofibres which fabricated by electrospinning, and then calcining in oxygen at 750, 850, 950 and 1050°C. The structure and properties of β-Ga2O3 nanofibers have been studied though kinds of methods such as XRD, Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, Raman spectrum, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and FT-IR. The diameters of these nanofibres are from 60 to 130nm and the lengths of these nanofibres are about couple millimetres. The spectrum of PL which excitation at 365nm gave us the information that the emission peak of these β-Ga2O3 nanofibres is about 470nm, it may be coursed by the various defects including the vacancies of gallium and oxygen and the gallium-oxygen vacancy pairs as well, and observed that with the increasing of the annealing temperature, the emission peaks have a small bule swifting, and the crystallinity become better at the same time.
