Er3+/Tm3+共掺碲酸盐玻璃光谱特性及能量传递

采用高温熔融法制备了两系列不同掺杂比的Er³⁺/Tm³⁺共掺的碲酸盐玻璃,测试了样品的吸收光谱和在980 nm LD激发下的发光光谱、上转换发光光谱及发光寿命。讨论了Er³⁺与Tm³⁺掺杂浓度对样品光谱性质的影响,Tm³⁺离子的掺入会减弱Er³⁺的1.53 μm发光强度,但通过共振能量传递可以获得Tm³⁺的1.8 μm发光,并随着Tm³⁺离子浓度的增加而增强。同时表明Tm³⁺离子的增加会减弱Er³⁺离子在528 nm和545 nm附近的上转换绿光强度,而上转换红光出现了先增强后减弱的现象。研究了Er³⁺/Tm³⁺共掺杂碲酸盐玻璃的能量传递机制与传递效率,分析了Tm³⁺/Er³⁺离子掺杂浓度比对上转换发光的影响。     

Tm3+/Yb3+共掺杂玻璃和玻璃陶瓷中蓝色 上转换发光中的能量传递过程

利用高温固相法制备了Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺共掺杂的氟氧化物玻璃和玻璃陶瓷材料,在980 nm的激光激发下,样品发射出明亮的蓝色上转换荧光。通过对玻璃和玻璃陶瓷样品的对比,发现Tm³⁺离子和Yb³⁺离子之间存在着Tm³⁺(³H₄)→Yb³⁺(²F_5/2)的反向能量传输通道,并且与晶场有较强的依赖关系。分析了在玻璃和玻璃陶瓷中蓝色上转换发光过程,随着敏化剂Yb³⁺浓度的增加,在玻璃中正向和反向能量传递的竞争作用使得Tm³⁺离子在Yb³⁺离子的最佳浓度时上转换发光最强;而在玻璃陶瓷中, Tm³⁺离子的上转换发光始终随着Yb³⁺离子的浓度增加而增强。     

共沉淀法制备NaYF4 : Tm3+,Yb3+的上转换发光

通过共沉淀法制备Tm³⁺和Yb³⁺掺杂的NaYF₄上转换发光材料。其中Tm³⁺和Yb³⁺的摩尔分数分别为0.01%,0.1%。在室温下测试了NaYF₄ : Tm³⁺,Yb³⁺材料在300~1 100 nm的吸收光谱。利用X射线衍射(XRD),扫描电镜(SEM)测试了合成材料的物相结构和微观形貌。结果表明:NaYF₄ : Tm³⁺,Yb³⁺材料为六方相晶体,其颗粒大小约为50~60 nm,产物结晶良好,含有少量杂相。在798 nm近红外光激发下,测试了样品的上转换发光光谱。观察到了蓝、绿色上转换发光。讨论了上转换发光的可能机理,蓝光主要来源于Tm³⁺的激发态¹G₄到基态³H₆的跃迁,绿光来源于Tm³⁺的¹D₂→³H₅跃迁。     

Tm3+在二苯甲酰基甲基亚砜配合物体系中对Dy3+的荧光增强效应

合成了六种高氯酸掺杂稀土(Dy³⁺,Tm³⁺)与二苯甲酰基甲基亚砜的配合物。经元素分析、稀土络合滴 定、摩尔电导率及差热-热重分析,表明配合物组成为 (Dy_x,Tm_y)L₅(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O(x : y=1.000 : 0.000,0.995 : 0.005,0.990 : 0.010,0.950 : 0.050,0.900 : 0.100,0.800 : 0.200;L=C₆H₅COCH₂SOCH₂COC₆H₅)。并详细讨论了六种稀土配合物的荧光光谱。从配合物的荧光光谱图可以看出,Tm³⁺对Dy³⁺的荧光有增强效应。这可能 是因为在惰性稀土离子Tm³⁺与活性稀土离子Dy³⁺之间有能量的传递。而且当Dy³⁺与Tm³⁺的量比为0.950 : 0.050时,掺杂配合物表现出最佳的发光性质。另外,Tm³⁺对577.4 nm处⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 峰的荧光敏化作用的程度高于对487 nm处⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 峰的荧光敏化作用。⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 峰的荧光强度增强了212％,而⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2峰的荧光强度增强了264％。所以,Dy³⁺离子的两个特征峰的发射强度比趋近于1,为1.078,使得配合物在紫外灯下发白色荧光。有可能成为一类发白色荧光的发光材料。     

纳米CaO ∶ Eu3+的制备及发光性质

利用共沉淀法制备了纳米CaO : Eu³⁺发光粉体。并对不同掺杂浓度和不同煅烧温度下所制备的CaO : Eu³⁺粉体进行室温发光性质的研究。在室温下观测到CaO : Eu³⁺样品具有较强的Eu³⁺离子特征发射。通过对不同煅烧温度下样品发射谱的对比,发现样品在591 nm和610 nm处的发射峰积分强度比随着煅烧温度的升高而降低,说明在不同的煅烧温度下,Eu³⁺占据了两种不同的格位。对样品强发射峰进行监测,可观测到样品中的O^2-和Eu³⁺离子之间形成的电荷迁移态。通过对比不同掺杂浓度下Eu³⁺离子发射光谱,发现将Eu³⁺掺杂到CaO基质中的适宜浓度为4%。     

纳米晶Gd2O3 ∶ Eu3+的制备与发光性质

利用共沉淀法制备了纳米晶Gd₂O₃ : Eu³⁺发光粉体。 在不同掺杂浓度、不同煅烧温度的系列样品中,均观测到Eu³⁺离子的特征发射。样品的晶相与发射性质的研究表明:所制备的样品经800~1 300 ℃热处理后,晶相为立方相,1 400 ℃时开始向单斜相转变。荧光强度与Eu³⁺离子掺杂浓度关系研究表明:在不同掺杂浓度中,Eu³⁺离子浓度为4%时其相对发射强度最强。在三个不同的煅烧温度中,经800 ℃煅烧的样品其发光效果最好。此外还观察到电荷转移激发态以及基质、Gd³⁺与Eu³⁺之间的能量传递。激发谱包含三部分,即电荷转移带、Eu³⁺的4f内壳层电子跃迁和Gd³⁺的激发谱。     

BaIn6Y2O13∶Yb3+, Er3+的制备及上转换发光性质的研究

采用高温固相法合成了不同Yb3+和Er3+掺杂浓度的BaIn₆Y₂O₁₃上转换发光材料。XRD数据显示,所合成的BaIn₆Y₂O₁₃∶Yb3+, Er3+属于六方晶系,引入激活剂并没有改变基质的晶体结构。利用971 nm半导体激光器激发样品,测量样品在不同激发光密度下上转换发射光谱和发射光功率,计算了上转换能量效率。数据表明在激发密度不变,激活剂浓度增加时,上转换光绿红比减小;激活剂浓度不变激发光密度增加时,发射光绿红比增大。分析表明是由于Er3+之间的交叉弛豫增强导致绿红比随激活剂掺杂浓度的增加而减小;Yb3+和Er3+之间的能量传递和Er3+的激发态吸收增强导致绿红比随激发密度的增加而增大。随着激发功率增加, 在较低激发功率时, 上转换绿光发射强度与激发功率的二次方成正比; 在较高激发功率时, 上转换绿光发射强度与激发功率的一次方成正比, 与报道的结果一致。能量效率存在极大值, 分别为0.38%(Yb3+掺杂浓度3%, Er3+掺杂浓度1%)和0.06%(Yb3+掺杂浓度9%, Er3+掺杂浓度3%), 产生极值的一个原因是4I_13/2亚稳态能级寿命较长, 聚集了大量电子, 使基态电子急剧减少, 导致上转换泵浦效率降低。

Green,blue, red,near-infrared up-conversion luminescence of Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>/Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript>/Tm<Superscript>3+</Superscript> co-doped YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanoparticles

YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺; YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺; and YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺,Tm³⁺ were all synthesized via sol-gel method with a subsequent thermal treatment. Specifically, YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺,Tm³⁺ phosphors were prepared with different annealing temperatures to study the influence of temperature. The transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and photoluminescent (PL) spectrofluorometer were used to investigate the morphology, crystal structure, and up-conversion luminescent properties of all samples. In summary, all samples were granular-like nanoparticles and well crystallized with the same tetragonal phase as YVO₄. Under the irradiation at 980 nm, YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺ phosphors can generate green emission at 525 and 553 nm and red emission at 657 nm, while YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺ phosphors can generate blue emission at 476 nm, red emission at 648 nm, and near-infrared emission at 800 nm. Notably, YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺,Tm³⁺ samples can exhibit green emission, blue emission, red emission, and near-infrared emission at the same time, which might endow the as-prepared samples with potential applications in many fields, such as luminous paint, infrared detection, and biological label.

Hydrothermal synthesis and the enhanced blue upconversion luminescence of NaYF4:Nd3+,Tm3+,Yb3+

Nd³⁺, Tm³⁺ and Yb³⁺ co-doped NaYF₄ upconversion (UC) material was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The structure of the sample was characterized by the X-ray diffraction, and its UC luminescence properties were investigated in detail. Under the 980 nm semiconductor laser excitation, its UC spectra exhibited distinct emission peaks at 451 nm, 475 nm and 646 nm respectively. On the basis of the comparison of UC spectra between NaYF₄:Nd³⁺,Tm³⁺,Yb³⁺ and NaYF₄:Tm³⁺,Yb³⁺, it was indicated that the existence of Nd³⁺ ion enhanced the blue emission intensity. The law of luminescence intensity versus pump power proved that the blue emission at 475 nm, and the red emission at 646 nm were the two-photon processes, while the blue emission at 451 nm was a three-photon process.     

Intense red upconversion luminescence from Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺ codoped transparent glass ceramic

Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺ codoped transparent glass ceramic containing β-PbF₂ nanocrystals was successfully prepared. After thermal treatment, emissions from the ¹G₄ state of Tm³⁺ excited by 980 nm laser were greatly quenched by cross relaxation and the 700 nm luminescence from Tm³⁺:³F_2,3→³H₆ transition was strongly enhanced. A nearly monochromatic red luminescence band was observed. Based on the luminescence decay curves and Judd-Ofelt analysis, the strengthened cross relaxation played an important role in such phenomenon.     

Upconversion white-light emission in Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ tridoped LiNbO₃ single crystal

Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ tridoped LiNbO₃ single crystal exhibiting intense upconversion white light under 980?nm excitation has been successfully fabricated by the Czochralski method. The tridoped LiNbO₃ single crystal offers power dependent color tuning properties by simply changing excitation power. Efficient three-photon blue upconversion emission and two-photon green and red upconversion emissions have been observed. In addition, the red emission of Ho³⁺ originates dominantly from the nonradiative decay of green emission. The LiNbO₃ with upconversion white light will be a potential laser candidate material.     

Avidin conjugation to up-conversion phosphor NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ by the oxidation of the oligosaccharide chains

NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a polyol process using diethyleneglycol (DEG) as solvent. After being functionalized with SiO₂–NH₂ layer, these NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles can conjugate with activated avidin molecules (activated by the oxidation of the oligosaccharide chain). The as-formed NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles, NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles functionalized with amino groups, avidin conjugated amino-functionalized NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV/Vis absorption spectra, and up-conversion luminescence spectra, respectively. The biofunctionalization of the NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles has less effect on their luminescence properties, i.e., they still show the up-conversion emission (from Er³⁺, with ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2 at ~540 nm and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 at ~653 nm), indicative of the great potential for these NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles to be used as fluorescence probes for biological system.

Up-conversion photoluminescence characteristics of Yb3+:Er3+:Tm3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses

Yb3+:Er3+:Tm3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses are prepared.Their strong up-conversion photoluminescence spectra in a range from ultra-violet to near-infrared,which are excited by a 978-nm laser diode,are measured,and the mechanisms of energy transfer among Yb3+,Er3+ and Tm3+ ions are discussed.The results show that there is an unexpected wavelength at 900-nm emission from Yb3+ Stark splitting levels to pump Tm3+ ions and there exists an optimum pump power.The concentration of the Tm3+ dopant gives rise to a prominent effect on the intensity of visible and near-infrared emissions for the Yb3+:Er3+:Tm3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses.     

Defect Structure and Up-conversion Luminescence Properties of ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript>:Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>,Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript> Nanomaterials

The up-converting ZrO₂:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺ nanomaterials were prepared with the combustion and sol–gel methods. FT-IR spectroscopy was used for analyzing the impurities. The crystal structures were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction and the mean crystallite sizes were estimated with the Scherrer formula. Up-conversion luminescence measurements were made at room temperature with IR-laser excitation at 977 nm. The IR spectra revealed the conventional and OH⁻ impurities for the combustion synthesis products. The structure of the ZrO₂:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanomaterials was cubic except for the minor monoclinic and tetragonal impurities obtained with the sol–gel method. The materials showed red (650–700 nm) and green (520–560 nm) up-conversion luminescence due to the ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2 and (²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2)→⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, respectively. The products obtained with the combustion synthesis exhibited the most intense luminescence intensity and showed considerable afterglow.     

Enhanced Up-Conversion Emission in Al<Superscript>3+</Superscript> Co-Doped ZnGa<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>:Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>,Tm<Superscript>3+</Superscript> Powder Phosphors

Yb³⁺-Tm³⁺ co-doped up-conversion powder phosphors using Zn(Al_xGa_1-x)₂O₄ (ZAGO) as the host materials were synthesized via solid-state reaction successfully. In addition, the morphology, structural characterization and up-conversion luminescent properties were all investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence spectrophotometer (F-7000), respectively. Under the excitation of a 980 nm laser, all as-prepared powders can carry out blue emission at about 477 nm (corresponding to ¹G₄ → ³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺ ions), and red emission at about 691 nm (attributed to ³F₃ → ³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺ ions). Also, the influence of doping Al³⁺ ions were investigated. In brief, the doping of Al³⁺ ions has no effect on the position of emission peak. Howbeit the up-conversion efficiency and intensity of ZAGO:Yb,Tm phosphors are stronger than ZGO:Yb,Tm and ZAO:Yb,Tm phosphors, while the crystallinity is the opposite. More particularly, all as-prepared powder phosphors emit strong luminescence, which is observable by the naked eye, demonstrating the potential applications in luminous paint, luminescent dye, etc.
