    Abstract: The morphological, structural and photoluminescence (PL) of laser ablated SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ thin films deposited on optimum substrate temperature range of 200-500°C are reported. The 200-500°C substrate temperature was considered, since on that range, low cost highly emitting SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ thin films are always produced. The surface morpholog... Show More

    Abstract: The effect of He-Ne (632.8 nm) and diode (650 nm) lasers on the electrical characteristics of silicon diode have been studied. The electrical characteristics of the diode were recorded before laser irradiations, then the diode is subjected to He-Ne laser for 5 and 10 minutes and then the diode electrical characteristics were recorded for each time ...
