The luminescent properties of the crystals were measured through photoluminescence excitation, emission spectra and decay curves. Luminescence between 960 and 1050 nm from yb3+: 2Fs/2--+2FT/2 transition, which was originated from the DC from Tm3+ ions to Yb3+ ions, was observed under the excitation of blue photon at 465 nm. Moreover, the energy transfer processes were studied based on the Inokuti-Hirayama model, and the results indicated that the energy transfer from Tm3+ to Yb3+ was an electric dipole-dipole interaction.

The results indicated that lumines- cence intensity reached the strongest when CTm=1.0 mol.% and Cyb/CTm=2:1. X-ray diffraction revealed the tetragonal system of BaWO4:Yb3+/Tm3+ and the grain sizes were between 31 and 45 nm according to Scherrer equation. The results of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were similar. Four emission peaks at 454, 475, 647 and 790 nm including two blue emission peaks and two red emission peaks, corresponding to ID2→3F4, 1G4→3H6, IG4→3F4 and 3H4→3H6 transitions of Tm3+, were observed under excitation of 980 nm semiconductor laser. Blue emissions at 454 and 475 um were four-photon and three-photon absorption respec- tively in accordance with the relationship between luminescence intensity and pump power.展开更多

The phosphors were extensively characterized using various methods such as X-ray diffrac- tion, photoluminescence excitation, photoluminescence spectra and decay lifetime to provide supporting evidence for DC process. Upon UV light varying from 260 to 350 nm or blue light (473 nm) excitation, an intense NIR emission of Yb3+ corresponding to tran- sition of 2Fs/2/5→2F7/2 peaking at 985 nm was generated. The visible emission, the NIR mission and the decay lifetime of the phosphors of various Yb3+ concentrations were investigated. Experimental results showed that the energy transfer from vanadate group to Yb3+ via Tm3+ was very efficient. Application of the broadband DC YVO4:Tma+,yb3+ phosphors might greatly enhance response of sili- con-based solar cells.展开更多
