AlON:1.6 mol.%Er3+, x mol.%Yb3+(x=0, 2.6, 3.1, 3.6, 4.1, 4.6) phosphors were synthesized successfully by aluminothermic reduction and nitridation(ATRN) method and characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scan...AlON:1.6 mol.%Er3+, x mol.%Yb3+(x=0, 2.6, 3.1, 3.6, 4.1, 4.6) phosphors were synthesized successfully by aluminothermic reduction and nitridation(ATRN) method and characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and upconversion photoluminescence(UCPL) emission spectra. Under the excitation of diode laser 980 nm, the green(556 nm) and red(655 nm) upconverted emissions were observed, attributed to the 4S3/2→4I15/2 and 4F9/2→4I15/2 transition of Er3+respectively. The emission intensity increased with increasing Yb3+ concentration due to the energy transfer(ET) between Yb3+ and Er3+. The upconverted emission reached the highest as x=3.6, and was pump-power dependent involving a two-photon process.展开更多
Mechanisms of upconversion luminescence(UCL) of SrF2:Er phosphors corresponding to the 4G11∕2→4I15∕2,2H9∕2→4I15∕2,4F5∕2→4I15∕2,4F7∕2→4I15∕2,2H11∕2→4I15∕2,4S3∕2→4I15∕2,4F9∕2→4I15∕2, and 4I9∕2→...Mechanisms of upconversion luminescence(UCL) of SrF2:Er phosphors corresponding to the 4G11∕2→4I15∕2,2H9∕2→4I15∕2,4F5∕2→4I15∕2,4F7∕2→4I15∕2,2H11∕2→4I15∕2,4S3∕2→4I15∕2,4F9∕2→4I15∕2, and 4I9∕2→4I15∕2 transitions upon excitation of the 4I11∕2 level of Er3+ions were investigated. Energy transfer upconversion processes are responsible for the populating of the 2H9∕2,2H11∕2,4S3∕2, and 4F9∕2 levels. Cooperative process is the dominant mechanism of luminescence from 4S3∕2 and 4F9∕2 levels for SrF2:Er with high concentrations of Er3+ions. The UCL from 4G11∕2 and 4F5∕2 is explained by excited-state absorption. Cross-relaxation processes take part in the population of 4F9∕2 and 4I9∕2 levels. For quantifying material performance, the Er3+-concentration dependence of UCL and the absolute quantum yields of SrF2:Er were studied. The most intensive visible luminescence was obtained for SrF2:Er(14.2%) with 0.28% maximum quantum yield.展开更多
