摘要
Er3＋ doped potassium gadolinium molybdate （KGM） phosphor with sensitizer Yb3＋ ion was synthesized by the Pechini method using citric acid and ethylene glycol. The crystallization processes of the phosphor precursors were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry （TG-DSC）, which indicated that ultrafine uniform crystallites of KGM：Er,Yb were obtained by sintering the precursors at above 650 ℃ for 5 h. Upconversion luminescence （UL） spectra of the samples were studied by a 976 nm semiconductor laser diode （LD） excitation. The UL spectra exhibited the green and red emission bands that were attributed to the 2H11/2, 4S3/2→4I15/2 and 4F9/2→4I15/2 transitions of Er3＋, respectively. The possible UL mechanisms of Er3＋ were explained by means of an energy level diagram. The maximum luminescent intensity was achieved when the concentration of Er3＋, Yb3＋ arrived at 1 mol.% and 20 mol.%, respectively.
