Abstract
In order to investigate the photoluminescence (PL) properties of $V_2O_5$ films, amorphous and crystalline films were prepared by using RF sputtering system, and the PL spectra of the films were measured at the temperatures ranging from 300 K to 10 K. In the amorphous $V_2O_5$ film grown at room temperature, a PL peak centered at ~505 nm was only observed, and in the crystalline $V_2O_5$ film, two peaks centered at ~505 nm and ~695 nm, which is known to correspond to oxygen defects, were revealed. The position of PL peak centered at 505 nm for both the amorphous and crystalline $V_2O_5$ films showed a strong dependence on temperature, and the positions were 2.45 eV at 300 K and 2.35 eV at 10 K, respectively. The PL at 505 nm was due to the band energy transition in $V_2O_5$, and also, the reduction of the peak position energy with decreasing temperature was caused by a decrement of the lattice dilatation effect with reducing electron-phonon interaction.
