Non-volatile, rewritable and ultra-high-density optical memory necessitates photoreduction of valence state change of rare Earth elements. However, the sensitization of a nanoscale ultra-high storage medium possessing high optical transmission is a challenge. Herein, we studied the optical properties of Sm deposited in ZnO thin film by Radio Frequency (RF) sputtering deposition method. The Sm3+ content,...
