Paper Abstract
In this research, the authors give an analysis of surface structural morphology and optical waveguide properties of
gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) and gadolinium oxide europium doped (Gd2O3:Eu3+) films as prepared via the sol-gel and dip
coating methods under atmospheric and clean room conditions. After describing sol-gel preparation routines, the authors
further give observations of homogeneous surface morphological as characterized with scanning electron microscope
(SEM) techniques. In addition, FTIR measurements of the Gd2O3 and Gd2O3:Eu3+ films and sol gels were made to
monitor the decomposition and oxidation reactions that occur during processing. The samples' structural and resulting
optical properties were studied and compared according to film thickness and surface morphological features.
