Optical and photoluminescence properties of CaV2O6 functionalized by sodium doping

In the present article, sodium-doped calcium vanadate, Ca1-xNaxV2O6 (0.00≤x≤0.10 with a step size of 0.025) is prepared via the solid-state reaction route. Structural, optical and electrical properties are investigated using different characterization techniques. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy exhibit a single-phase monoclinic structure of Ca1-xNaxV2O6 (0.00≤x≤0.1) with non-uniform rod-shaped grains, respectively. The...
