Upconversion luminescence spectra of the samples were studied under 980 nm laser excitation. The results of XRD showed that the obtained Y2O3:Er^3+,Yb^3+ nanoparticles were of a cubic structure. The average crystallite sizes calculated were in the range of 28-40 nm. Green and red upconversion emission were observed, and attributed to ^2H11/2,^4S3/2→^4I15/2 and ^4F9/2→^4I15/2 transitions of the ion, respectively. The ratio of the intensity of green emission to that of red emission drastically changed with a change in the EDTA 2Na concentration. In the sample synthesized without EDTA, the relative intensity of the green emission was weaker than that of the red emission. The relative intensities of green emission increased with the increased amount of EDTA 2Na used. The possible upconversion luminescence mechanisms were discussed.展开更多

The resulted Y2O3∶Eu3+ precursors and the calcined particles were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectra (PL). FTIR, TG-DTA, XRD measurements show that the precursors are crystal with hydroxyl and carbonate group, and the pure cubic yttria is obtained after annealing above 700 ℃. The SEM images indicate that the Y2O3∶Eu3+ particles are in spherical shape and with smooth surface. PL analysis shows that the particles present characteristic red emission of Eu3+.展开更多
