Successful codoping of Mg^（2＋）ions in upconversion nanoparticles（UCNPs） was supported by XRD, SEM, EDS, and PL analyses. The effects of Mg^（2＋）doping on the morphology and the intensity of the upconversion（UC） emission were discussed in detail. It turned out that with the concentration of Mg^（2＋）increasing, the morphology of the nanoparticles turn to change gradually and the UC emission was increasing gradually as well. Notably the UC fluorescence intensities of Er^（3＋）were gradually improved owing to the codoped Mg^（2＋）and then achieved a maximum level as the concentration of Mg^（2＋）ions was 60 mol% from the amendment of the crystal structure of β-NaGdF_4：Yb^（3＋）,Er^（3＋）nanoparticles. Moreover, the UC luminescence properties of the rare-earth（Yb3＋, Er^（3＋）） ions codoped NaGdF_4 nanocrystals were investigated in detail under 980-nm excitation.展开更多

Under excitation of a 980-nm laser diode （LD）, compared with the glass before heat treatment, the Tm^3＋/Er^3＋/yb^3＋ co-doped oxyfluorogermanate glass ceramics can emit intense blue, green and red up-conversion luminescence and Stark- split peaks; X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） results show that BaF2 nanocrystals with an average diameter of 20 nm are precipitated from the glass matrix. Stark splitting of the up-conversion luminescence peaks in the glass ceramics indicates that Tm^3＋, Er^3＋ and （or） Yb^3＋ ions are incorporated into the BaF2 nanocrystals. The up-conversion luminescence intensities of Tm^3＋, Er^3＋ and the splitting degree of luminescence peaks in the glass ceramics increase significantly with the increase of heat treat temperature and heat treat time extension. In addition, the possible energy transfer process between rare earth ions and the up-conversion luminescence mechanism are also proposed.展开更多
