The up-conversion of Er3+/yb3+ co-doped transparent glass-ceramics 50SiO2-10A1F3-5TiO2-30BaF2-4LaF3-0.5ErF3-0.5YbF3 containing Ba2LaF7 nanocrystals under the changing of heat treatment temperature and time were inve...The up-conversion of Er3+/yb3+ co-doped transparent glass-ceramics 50SiO2-10A1F3-5TiO2-30BaF2-4LaF3-0.5ErF3-0.5YbF3 containing Ba2LaF7 nanocrystals under the changing of heat treatment temperature and time were investigated. The Ba2LaF7 nanocrystals precipitated from the glass matrix was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The structural investigation carried out by XRD and trans- mission electron microscopy (TEM) evidenced the formation of cubic Ba2LaF7 nanocrystals with crystal size of about 14 nm. Comparing with the samples before heat treatment, the high efficiency up-conversion emission of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped samples was observed in the glass-ceramics under 980 nm laser diode excitation. The increase in red emission intensity bands was stronger than the green bands when the crystal size increased. The mechanism for the up-conversion process in the glass-ceramics and the reasons for the increase of Er3+/yb3+ co-doped up-conversion intensity after heat treatment were discussed.展开更多
