Effects of the Tm3＋, Yb3＋ molar fractions and calcination temperature on the structural and upconversion luminescent properties of the Lu2O3 nanocrystals were investigated. The XRD results show that all the prepared nanocrystals can be readily indexed to pure cubic phase of Lu2O3 and indicate good crystallinity. The experimental results show that concentration quenching occurs when the mole fraction of Tm3＋ is above 0.2%. The optimal Tm3＋ and Yb3＋ doped molar fractions are 0.2% and 2%, respectively. The strong blue （490 nm） and the weak red （653 nm） emissions from the prepared nanocrystals were observed under 980 nm laser excitation, and attributed to the 1G4→3H6 and IG4→3F4 transitions of Tm3＋, respectively. Power-dependent study reveals that the 1G4 levels of Tm3＋ can be populated by three-step energy transfer process. The upconversion emission intensities of 490 nm and 653 nm increase gradually with the increase of calcination temperature. The enhancement of the upconversion luminescence is suggested to be the consequence of reducing number of OH- groups and the enlarged nanoerystal size.展开更多

Under 980 nm diode laser excitation, the impact of different concentrations of Ho^3＋ ion on the UC luminescence intensity was discussed. The law of luminescence intensity versus pump power shows that the 474 nm blue emission, 538 nm green emission, and 642 nm red emission are all due to the two-photon process, while the 450 nm blue emission is a three-photon process. The UC mechanism and processes were also analyzed. The sample was characterized by transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The result shows that Ho^3＋ ,Tm^3＋ , and Yb^3＋ co-doped NaYF4 prepared by the hydrothermal method exhibits a hexagonal nanocrystal.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction （XRD）, field emission scanning electron microscope （FESEM） and upconversion （UC） emission spectra were used to characterize the samples. The results of XRD indicate that Gd3Ga5O12：Er3＋, Tm3＋, Yb3＋ nanocrystals with cubic phase can be obtained. Under the excitation of a 980 nm laser, the different rare earth ions doped Gd3Ga5O12 nanoerystals show upconversion luminescence involving the green emission attributed to the ^2H11/2→^4I15/2, 4^S3/2→^4I15/2 transitions of Er3＋ ions, respectively, the red emissions assigned to the ^4F9/2→^4I15/2 transitions of Er3＋ ions and the ^1G4→^3F4 as well as 3F2,3→^3H6 transitions of Tm3＋ ions, respectively, the blue emission attributed to ^1G4→^3H6 transitions of Tm3＋ ions, and the near-infrared assigned to the ^3H4→^3H6 transitions of Tm3＋ ions. The CIE coordinates for the samples are calculated. The dependence of their upconversion luminescence properties on Yb3＋ ion concentration is investieated.展开更多

Based on the obtained microrods, transparent and flexible film with upconversion luminescence property was prepared through inorganic-organic composition method by using co-polymerization product of isobornylmethacrylate and urethane acrylate as the polymer substrate. The prepared film shows excellent optical transmission in the visible region with average transmission of 81.3% at high doping concentration(2 wt%) of β-Na YF4:Yb3+,Er3+ microrods. By directing and moving NIR laser beam toward the prepared film with high scanning speed, visible light is effectively emitted and various images are able to display.展开更多
