The upconversion properties indicate that SrTiO3:Er3+ may be used in upconversion phosphors.     

Photoluminescent Property Effect of Sc3+ on Er3+/y3+/yb3+ Doped Al2O3 Powders

The photoluminescence (PL) property effect of Sc3+ on the Er3+/Y3+/Yb3+ doped Al2O3 powders prepared by sol-gel method has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) implied that the distribution of dopants (Er3+ , Y3+ , Yb3+ , Sc3+) was improved effectively with the rise of Sc3+ concentration. The Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) results demonstrated that the ligand around the quenching center -OH and the population of -OH were altered by introducing different amounts of Sc3+ . The PL intensity centered at 1530 nm was increasingly improved with the rise of Sc3+ concentration, as well as the corresponding full widths at the half maximum (FWHM) and lifetime. The optimized PL intensity was 4.7 times higher than that non-Sc3+ doped sample for the Al2O3 powders codoped with 10mol% Sc3+ . This material can be promising candidates for optical fiber amplifier.

Nanocrystalline La_1.5Ln_0.5Ti₂O₇ (Ln = Pr, Gd, Er) solid solutions were prepared by a polymeric complex method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and differential thermal analyses (DTA). The photocatalytic activity of La_1.5Ln_0.5Ti₂O₇ (Ln = Pr, Gd, Er) was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO).

The difference in the photocatalytic activity observed for La_1.5Ln_0.5Ti₂O₇ (Ln = La, Pr, Gd, Er) can be related to the different Ln 4f shell.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy analysis revealed that the doped Er existed in the form of Er₂O₃. It also showed that the Er doping can enhance the visible-light absorption abilities of catalysts and their visible-light-driven photocatalytic activities in comparison with those of pure BiVO₄.     

Controllable synthesis and tunable luminescence properties of Y2(WO4)3:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Yb/Er, Yb/Tm and Yb/Ho) 3D hierarchical architectures

Yttrium tungstate precursors with novel 3D hierarchical architectures assembled from nanosheet building blocks were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method with the assistance of sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS). After calcination, the precursors were easily converted to Y(2)(WO(4))(3) without an obvious change in morphology. The as-prepared precursors and Y(2)(WO(4))(3) were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, respectively. The results reveal that the morphology and dimensions of the as-prepared precursors can be effectively tuned by altering the amounts of organic SDBS and the reaction time, and the possible formation mechanism was also proposed. Upon ultraviolet (UV) excitation, the emission of Y(2)(WO(4))(3):x mol% Eu(3+) microcrystals can be tuned from white to red, and the doping concentration of Eu(3+) has been optimized. Furthermore, the up-conversion (UC) luminescence properties as well as the emission mechanisms of Y(2)(WO(4))(3):Yb(3+)/Ln(3+) (Ln = Er, Tm, Ho) microcrystals were systematically investigated, which show green (Er(3+), (4)S(3/2), (2)H(11/2)→(4)I(15/2)), blue (Tm(3+), (1)G(4)→(3)H(6)) and yellow (Ho(3+), (5)S(2)→(5)I(8)) luminescence under 980 nm NIR excitation. Moreover, the doping concentration of the Yb(3+) has been optimized under a fixed concentration of Er(3+) for the UC emission of Y(2)(WO(4))(3):Yb(3+)/Er(3+).

The element contents were determined by molar to be 0.64% Er³⁺ in Er:NLBO, 2.70% Yb³⁺ in Yb:NLBO, respectively. The polarized absorption spectra of RE:NLBO have been measured at room temperature and show that both Er:NLBO and Yb:NLBO have a strong absorption bands near 980 nm with wide FWHM (Full Wave at Half Maximum) (21 nm for Er:NLBO and 25 nm for Yb:NLBO). Fluorescence spectra have been recorded. Yb:NLBO has the emission peaks at 985 nm, 1028 nm and 1079 nm and the emission peak of Er:NLBO is at 1536 nm. Spectral parameters have been calculated by the Judd-Ofelt theory for Er:NLBO and the reciprocity method for Yb:NLBO, respectively. The calculated values show that Er:NLBO is a candidate of 1.55 μm laser crystals and Yb:NLBO is a candidate for self-frequency doubling crystal.
