1.54 and 1.75 μm infrared luminescence of Y2O3:Er

A new 1.75 μm infrared emission transition of Y₂O₃:Er³⁺ is assigned to the ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_9/2 transition of Er³⁺ ions situated at the C₂ sites of cubic RE₂O₃ (RE = Y, Gd, Lu). The intensities of features in the 1.54 μm ⁴I_15/2–⁴I_13/2 absorption transition due to Er³⁺ at S₆ and C₂ sites are consistent with the site occupation ratio and the relative magnetic dipole–electric dipole intensity contributions of Er³⁺ at the different sites. The 1.54 μm emission lines are predominantly from Er³⁺ ions at C₂ sites. The different behaviours of the emission intensities 1.75 and 1.54 μm groups with change in Er³⁺ dopant ion concentration, preparation technique, Yb³⁺ co-doping, temperature change and different excitation line are rationalized.     

Yb ion as a sensitizer for the upconversion luminescence in nanocrystalline Gd3Ga5O12:Ho

The effect of Yb³⁺ co-doping on the upconversion luminescence in nanocrystalline Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂:Ho³⁺ was examined. Strong and efficient NIR to green anti-Stokes luminescence was noted in nanocrystalline Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂:Ho³⁺, Yb³⁺ after excitation into the ²F_5/2 level of Yb³⁺ with 978 nm radiation. Weaker blue, red and NIR anti-Stokes luminescence was also observed after 978 nm excitation. An enhancement of the red ⁵F₅ → ⁵I₈ luminescence was observed in the anti-Stokes spectrum compared to the Stokes emission spectrum. This enhancement was attributed to two distinct energy transfer upconversion (ETU) mechanisms which preferentially populate the (⁵F₄, ⁵S₂) and ⁵F₅ levels.     

High-temperature High-pressure Hydrothermal Synthesis of Dy3＋-doped YNbO4 Single Crystal and Its Luminescence Properties

Single crystal Dy3＋ doped YNbO4phosphors were prepared via a high-temperature high-pressure hydrothermal procedure. Under excitation at 270 nm, the Dy3＋-doped YNbO4 phosphor shows bright white emission, which is composed of two strong bands at 492 and 576 nm corresponding to the characteristic 4F9/2→6H15/2 and aF9/2→6H13/2 transitions of Dy3＋, respectively. The dominant band was observed at 352 nm, which corresponds to the 6H15/2→6p7/2 transition of Dy3＋. Nearly white light was achieved at 2ex 270, 310 and 388 nm and the CIE（International Commission on Illumination） values were （0.3135, 0.3421）, （0.3088, 0.3380） and （0.3146, 0.3296）, respectively.     

不同掺杂浓度Tm3+：LiLuF4单晶的1800 nm荧光发射

采用坩埚下降法生长了Tm3+掺杂浓度为0.45%,0.90%,1.63%与3.25%(摩尔分数,x)的LiLuF4单晶.测试了样品的电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱(ICP-AES)、X射线衍射(XRD)谱、吸收光谱(1400-2000 nm),并且分析比较了808 nm半导体激光器(LD)激发下荧光光谱.结果表明:当Tm3+的浓度从0.45%变化到3.25%时,1800 nm处的荧光强度呈现了先增后减的趋势,当掺杂浓度约为0.90%时达到最大值,而位于1470 nm处的荧光强度则呈现了相反的趋势.Tm3+:3F4能级的荧光衰减寿命随着掺杂浓度的增加不断减小.1800 nm处的这种荧光强度变化归结于Tm3+离子间的交叉驰豫效应(3H6,3H4→3F4,3F4)和自身的浓度猝灭效应.同时计算得到了浓度为0.90%的样品在1890 nm处的最大发射截面为0.392×10-20cm2.并且根据Judd-Ofelt理论所得寿命和测定的荧光寿命计算得到了3F4→3H6的最大量子效率约为120%.     

Upconversion properties of Er3+, Yb3+ and Tm3+ codoped fluorophosphate glasses

Er3+, Yb3+ and Tm3+ codoped fluorophosphate glasses emitting blue, green and red upconversion luminescence at 970 nm laser diode excitation were studied. It was shown that Tm3+ behaves as the sensitizer to Er3+ for the green upconversion luminescence through the energy transfer process: Tm3+:3H4+Er3+:4I 15/2-->Er3+:4I 9/2+Tm3+:3H6, and for the red upconversion luminescence through the energy transfer process: Tm3+:3F4+Er3+:4I 11/2-->Tm3+:3H6+Er3+:4F 9/2. Moreover, Er3+ acts as quenching center for the blue upconversion luminescence of Tm3+. The sensitization of Tm3+ to Er3+ depends on the concentration of Yb3+. The intensity of blue, green and red emissions can be changed by adjusting the concentrations of the three kinds of rare earth ions. This research may provide useful information for the development of high color and spatial resolution devices and white light simulation.

NnO2：xEu3＋（x=O, 1%, 3%, 5%, molar fraction） fibers were synthesized by electrospinning technology. The size of the as-prepared fibers is relatively uniform and the average diameter is about 200 nm with a large draw ratio. The as-prepared Eu3＋ doped SnO2 nanofibers have a rutile structure and consist of crystallitc grains with an average size of about 10 nm. A slight red shift of the A1gand Bag vibration modes and an additional peak at 288 nm were observed in the Raman spectra of the nanofibers. The energies of bandgaps of the SnO2 nanofiber with Eu doping of 1% and 3% are 2.64 eV, and the energy of bandgap is 2.94 eV with Eu doping of 5%（molar fraction）. There is only orange emission（5D0→7F1 magnetic dipole transition） for Eu doped SnO2 nanofibers, and no red emission could be observed. The orange emission upon indirect excitation splits into three peaks and the peak intensity at the excitation wavelength of 275 nm is higher than that at the excitation wavelength of 488 nm.

Ba3LaNa(PO4)3F:Tm3+, Dy3+: A tunable blue-white color emitting phosphor via energy transfer for UV white LEDs

A series of Tm^3+/Dy^3+co-doped Ba3 LaNa(PO4)3 F(BLNPF) phosphors were synthesized successfully via a high-temperature solid-reaction,and luminescence properties were investigated.Upon near violet excitation,BLNPF:Tm^3+,Dy^3+ phosphors exhibit Tm^3+:^1D2-^3 F4 and Dy^3+:^4 F(9/2)-^6 HJ(J=15/2,13/2,11/2)transitions with diffe rent luminescence intensity.The emitting color of the obtained products was found to shift from blue to white as a result of efficient energy transfer(ET) from Tm^3+to Dy^3+ions.According to photoluminescence emission intensity,the positive effect of activator on ET efficiency was calculated and the maximum ET efficiency was found around 72.6% with Dy^3+ concentration was 0.04.By means of Dexter's theoretical model,furthermore,dipole-dipole interaction was confirmed as the mechanism of energy transfer from Tm^3+ to Dy^3+ ions.The results suggested that BLNPF:Tm^3+,Dy^3+ phosphor might be a promising single-phased white-light-emitting phosphor for UV white-light LED.     

Studies on Upconversion Mechanism of ZrO2 ： Er^3＋, Yb^3＋ Nanocrystals Under Excitation at 488 and 980 nm

Erbium, Ytterbium-codoped ZrO2 nanoparticles(ZrO2:Er^3 ,Yb^3 ) were prepared by the sol-emulsiongel technique. The purpose of the present study is the application of upconversion phosphor in the biological label. In order to make out the mechanism of upconversion under 980 nm excitation the 488 nm pump was used. The influence of temperature on the crystallite phase was studied. The results confirm the upconverted mechanism in ZrO2:Er^3 ,Yb^3 nanocrystals is due to an energy transfer upconversion(ETU).     

Preparation and Luminescence Properties of Color-tunable Single-phased LaPO4: Eu3+/Tb3+ Phosphors

A novel series of color-tunable single-phased phosphors La_1-x-yPO₄:xEu³⁺/yTb³⁺(x=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05; y=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) was synthesized via microwave-assisted co-precipitation method with diammonium hydrogen phosphate as precipitant. The morphology, crystal structure and photoluminescence properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results reveal that the as-synthesized samples calcined at 1100℃ display spherical morphology with uniform distribution. Upon excitation with 350 nm ultraviolet radiation, the LaPO₄:Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ phosphors showed a green light peaking at 543 nm assigned to the characteristic ⁵D₄-⁷F₅ emission of Tb³⁺ and a red light peaking at 591 nm corresponding to the characteristic ⁵D₀-⁷F₁ emission of Eu³⁺ simultaneously. For the Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ co-activated phosphors, Tb³⁺ acts as an efficient sensitizer to enhance the emission intensity of Eu³⁺ ions. The energy transfer mechanism and the emission color tunability of LaPO₄:Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ have been studied. The results indicate that a color-tunable luminescence(from green to white to red) can be achieved by adjusting the Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ doping ratio in the LaPO₄ host matrix.     

Study of upconversion fluorescence property of novel Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped tellurite glasses

Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped TeO2-B2O3-Nb2O5-ZnO (TBN) glasses were prepared. The absorption spectra and upconversion luminescence spectra of TBN glasses were measured and analyzed. The upconversion emission bands centered at 530, 546 and 658 nm were observed under the excitation at 975 nm, corresponding to the transitions of 2H11/2-->4I15/2, 4S3/2-->4I15/2 and 4F9/2-->4I15/2 respectively. The ratio of red emission to green emission increases with an increasing of Yb3+ ions concentration. According to the quadratic dependence on excitation power, the possible upconversion mechanisms and processes were discussed.     

Highly efficient blue up-conversion of Tm in Nd–Yb–Tm co-doped ZrF4-based fluoride glass

Up-conversion luminescence and energy-transfer processes in Nd³⁺, Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺ co-doped ZrF₄-based fluoride glasses have been studied under 800 nm light excitation. Blue up-converted emission around 478 nm which can be assigned to the Tm³⁺:¹G₄→³H₆ transition, was strongly observed. Up-conversion luminescence intensity exhibited an YbF₃-concentration dependence. Among the Nd³⁺, Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺, Nd³⁺ and Tm³⁺ have ground state absorption bands due to the (²H_9/2,⁴F_5/2)←⁴I_9/2 and ³F₄←³H₆ transitions, respectively, which can be directly pumped by 800 nm radiation. However, no emissions were observed in Tm³⁺ singly-doped and Tm³⁺–Yb³⁺ doubly-doped glasses under 800 nm excitation. Therefore, a possible up-conversion mechanism may be proposed as follows: energy-transfer firstly occurs from Nd³⁺ to Yb³⁺ when Nd³⁺ is excited by 800 nm light, then the energy is transferred from Yb³⁺ to Tm³⁺ which is in the excited state and, finally, blue up-conversion emission of Tm³⁺ is observed through the Tm³⁺:¹G₄→³H₆ transition.     

Rapid Synthesis and Photoluminescence Properties of Eu-doped ZnO Nanoneedles via Facile Hydrothermal Method

Eu-doped ZnO nanoneedles with different doping concentrations were prepared via the facile hydrothermal method.The crystal structure,morphology and photoluminescence property of the ZnO nanoneedles were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）,photoluminescence spectroscopy（PL） and Raman spectroscopy.The results show that the europium ions are incorporated into the crystal lattice of ZnO matrix in trivalent ions.The nanoneedles are 2-3 μm in length and 100 nm in the tip diameter.PL and Raman measurements indicate that higher Eu^3＋ doping concentration may destroy the crystallization of the nanoneedles and decrease the ratio of IUV/IDLE,which is mainly due to the more defects in the doped ZnO nanoneedles.And the characteristic red emissions of Eu^3＋ ions are found by the PL spectroscopy with the Eu^3＋doping concentration increasing,which are attributed to the ^5D0→^7F0,^5D0→^7F1 and ^5D0→^7F2 transitions.     

Cooperative radiative and nonradiative effects in K2NaScF6 codoped with V3+ and Er3+

K2NaScF6 crystals codoped with V3+ and Er3+ exhibit some novel cooperative near-IR to visible upconversion processes at cryogenic temperatures. V3+ mainly acts as a broadband sensitizer. The V3+ 3T1g --> 3T2g excitation between 13,500 and 15,500 cm(-1), after fast relaxation to V3+ 1T2g, can be transferred to Er3+ 4I(11/2), and then upconversion takes place. Four upconversion mechanisms are identified and characterized. For narrow-band laser excitation the overall efficiency of the upconversion processes is low. However, at 12 K for broadband excitation, such as in a lamp, between 12,000 and 14,500 cm(-1) the number of emitted visible photons is roughly doubled by codoping V3+ in addition to Er3+.

Study of luminescence properties of novel Er3+ single-doped and Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped tellurite glasses

The novel Er(3+) single-doped and Er(3+)/Yb(3+) co-doped tellurite glasses were prepared. The effect of Yb(2)O(3) concentration on absorption spectra, emission spectra and upconversion spectra of glasses were measured and investigated. The emission intensity, fluorescence full width at half maximum (FWHM) and upconversion luminescence of Er(3+) go up with the increasing concentration of Yb(3+) ions. The maximum FWHM of (4)I(13/2) --> (4)I(15/2) transition of Er(3+) is approximate 77 nm for 1.41 x 10(21)ions/cm(3) concentration of Yb(3+)-doped glass. The visible upconversion emissions at about 532, 546 and 659 nm, corresponding to the (2)H(11/2) --> (4)I(15/2), (4)S(3/2) --> (4)I(15/2) and (4)F(9/2) --> (4)I(15/2) transitions of Er(3+), respectively, were simultaneously observed under the excitation at 970 nm. Subsequently, the possible upconversion mechanisms and important role of Yb(3+) on the green and red emissions were discussed and compared. The results demonstrate that this kind of tellurite glass may be a potentially useful material for developing potential amplifiers and upconversion optical devices.
