YVO4:Sm3+films have been deposited on different substrates using pulsed laser deposition method. The films were deposited on fused silica, MgO(100), Al2O3(0001), and Si(100) substrates. The crystallinity and surface morphology of the films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The films grown on the different substrates have different crystallinity and morphology. The full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of (200) peak are 0.20, 0.14, 0.12, and 0.18° for fused silica, MgO(100), Al2O3(0001), and Si(100), respectively. The crystallite size, estimated by using Scherrer’s formula, of phosphors grown on fused silica, MgO(100), Al2O3(0001), and Si(100) was about 7.25, 10.08, 11.88, and 8.14 nm, respectively and it has a maximum at 11.88 nm for the thin film grown on Al2O3(0001). The photoluminescence and the cathodoluminescence spectra were measured at room temperature using a luminescence spectrometer and the emitted radiation was dominated by the red emission peak at 602 nm radiated from the transition of4G5/2→6H7/2. YVO4:Sm3+films have maximum PL intensity for the films grown on the Al2O3(0001) substrate and the brightness of the films were higher 1.3, 2.9, and 5.0 times in comparison with that of the YVO4:Sm3+films grown on MgO(100), fused silica, and Si (100) substrates, respectively. The crystallinity, surface morphology and luminescence spectra of thin-film phosphors were highly dependent on substrates.
