Investigation of up-conversion luminescence properties of RE/Yb co-doped Y2O3 transparent ceramic (RE=Er, Ho, Pr, and Tm)

RE/Yb co-doped Y₂O₃ transparent ceramics (RE=Er, Ho, Pr, Tm) were fabricated and characterized from the point of up-conversion luminescence. All the samples exhibit high transparence not only in near-infrared band (NIR) band but also in visible region, which ensures the output of the up-conversion luminescence. Under 980 nm excitation, green and red emissions were observed in Er, Yb:Y₂O₃ transparent ceramic, while green emission was detected in Ho, Yb and Pr, Yb co-doped Y₂O₃ transparent ceramics. In Tm, Yb co-doped Y₂O₃ ceramic, very intense blue up-conversion luminescence was detected. The dependence of up-conversion emission intensity on the pumping power was measured for each RE/Yb co-doped Y₂O₃ transparent ceramic, and the up-conversion mechanism was discussed in detail. Meanwhile, the energy transfer efficiency was calculated.     

Enhanced emission of Er from alternately Er doped Si-rich Al2O3 multilayer film with Si nanocrystals as broadband sensitizers

Alternately Er doped Si-rich Al₂O₃ (Er:SRA) multilayer film, consisting of alternate Er-Si-codoped Al₂O₃ (Er:Si:Al₂O₃) and Si-doped Al₂O₃ (Si:Al₂O₃) sublayers, has been synthesized by co-sputtering from separated Er, Si, and Al₂O₃ targets. The dependence of Er³⁺ related photoluminescence (PL) properties on annealing temperatures over 700-1100 °C was studied. The maximum intensity of Er³⁺ PL, about 10 times higher than that of the monolayer film, was obtained from the multilayer film annealed at 950 °C. The enhancement of Er³⁺ PL intensity is attributed to the energy transfer from the silicon nanocrystals in the Si:Al₂O₃ sublayers to the neighboring Er³⁺ ions in the Er:Si:Al₂O₃ sublayers. The PL intensity exhibits a nonmonotonic temperature dependence: with increasing temperature, the integrated intensity almost remains constant from 14 to 50 K, then reaches maximum at 225 K, and slightly increases again at higher temperatures. Meanwhile, the PL integrated intensity at room temperature is about 30% higher than that at 14 K.     

Up-conversion emissions of Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript>-Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript> codoped Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> nanoparticles by the arc discharge synthesis method

The Er³⁺-Yb³⁺ codoped Al₂O₃ nanoparticles with an average particle size of about 50 nm have been synthesized by an arc discharge synthesis method. The green and red up-conversion emissions centered at about 526, 547 and 677 nm, corresponding respectively to the ²H_11/2→⁴I_15/2, ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, were detected by a 978-nm semiconductor laser diode excitation. The Annealing has evident effect on the up-conversion emissions of the samples: The red up-conversion emission is noticeable before annealing; however, the green up-conversion emission becomes predominant after annealing. The mixture of (Er,Yb)₃Al₅O₁₂ and α-(Al,Er,Yb)₂O₃ phases is more favorable for green up-conversion emissions due to an enhancement of the ESA (I) of ⁴I_11/2+a photon→⁴F_7/2 and ET (III) of ²F_5/2(Yb³⁺)+⁴I_11/2(Er³⁺)→²F_7/2(Yb³⁺)+⁴F_7/2(Er³⁺) processes. The two-photon absorption up-conversion process is involved in the green and red up-conversion emissions. The results have proved that arc discharge synthesis is a new promising preparation technology for optical materials.

Enhanced optical activation of Er in Er-doped Al2O3 powders by Y codoping in a sol-gel method

Enhanced photoluminescence (PL) mechanism of Er³⁺-doped Al₂O₃ powders by Y³⁺ codoping at wavelength 1.53 μm has been investigated through PL measurements of 0.1 mol% Er³⁺- and 0-20 mol% Y³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders prepared at a sintering temperature of 900 °C in a non-aqueous sol-gel method. PL intensity and lifetime of Er³⁺-Y³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders composed of γ-(Al,Er,Y)₂O₃ and θ-(Al,Er,Y)₂O₃ phases increased with increasing Y³⁺-codoping concentration. The 10-20 mol% Y³⁺ codoping in 0.1 mol% Er³⁺-doped Al₂O₃ powders intensified the PL intensity by about 20 times, with a PL lifetime prolonged from 3.5 to 5.8 ms. A maximal increase of the optical activity of Er³⁺ in 0.1 mol% Er³⁺-Y³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders about one order was achieved by 10-20 mol% Y³⁺ codoping. It is found that the improved PL properties for Er³⁺-Y³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders are mainly attributed to enhanced optical activation of Er³⁺ in the Al₂O₃ by Y³⁺ codoping, and to the slightly increased radiative quantum efficiency of Er³⁺ in the Al₂O₃.     

Green and red up-conversion emissions of Er-Yb-codoped Al2O3 powders prepared by the nonaqueous sol-gel method

The 1 mol% Er³⁺- and 0-20 mol% Yb³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders have been prepared by the nonaqueous sol-gel process using aluminum isopropoxide as precursor, acetylacetone as chelating agent, nitric acid as catalyzer, and hydrated erbium and ytterbium nitrate as dopant under isopropanol environment. The two crystalline types of doped Al₂O₃, γ and θ, and a stoichiometric compound, (Yb,Er)₃Al₅O₁₂, were obtained for all the Er³⁺-Yb³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders at the sintering temperature of 1000 °C. The maximal intensity of both the green and red up-conversion emissions centered at about 523, 545, and 660 nm was observed for the 1 mol% Er³⁺- and 10 mol% Yb³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders. The intensity ratio of the red to green up-conversion emission (I_red/I_green) increased with increasing the Yb³⁺ doping concentration for the Er³⁺-Yb³⁺-codoped Al₂O₃ powders. Furthermore, the intensity ratio of the green up-conversion emission at about 523 to 545 nm (I₅₂₃/I₅₄₅) was proportional to the Yb³⁺ doping concentration and pump electric current, which was associated with the elevated temperature of powders.     

The up-conversion properties of Yb and Er doped Y4Al2O9 phosphors

Er³⁺ doped and Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ co-doped Y₄Al₂O₉ phosphors are prepared by the sol-gel method. The effect of dopant concentration on the structure and up-conversion properties is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence, respectively. XRD pattern indicates that the sample structure belongs to monoclinic. Under 980 nm excitation, the green and red up-conversion emissions are observed and the emission intensities depended on the Yb³⁺ ion concentration. The green up-conversion emissions decrease with the increase of Yb³⁺ concentration, while red emission increases as Yb³⁺ concentration increases from 0 to 8 at% and then decreases at high Yb³⁺ concentration. The mechanisms of the up-conversion emissions are discussed and results shows that in Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ co-doped system, cross-relaxation (CR) and energy transfer (ET) processes play an important role for the green and red up-conversion emissions.     

Effect of TiO2/Al2O3 film coated diamond abrasive particles by sol-gel technique

The diamond abrasive particles were coated with the TiO₂/Al₂O₃ film by the sol-gel technique. Compared with the uncoated diamonds, the TiO₂/Al₂O₃ film was excellent material for the protection of the diamonds. The results showed that the incipient oxidation temperature of the TiO₂/Al₂O₃ film coated diamonds in air atmosphere was 775 °C, which was higher 175 °C than that of the uncoated diamonds. And the coated diamonds also had better the diamond's single particle compressive strength and the impact toughness than that of uncoated diamonds after sintering at 750 °C. For the vitrified bond grinding wheels, replacing the uncoated diamonds with the TiO₂/Al₂O₃ film coated diamonds, the volume expansion of the grinding wheels decreased from 6.2% to 3.4%, the porosity decreased from 35.7% to 25.7%, the hardness increased from 61.2H_RC to 66.5H_RC and the grinding ratio of the vitrified bond grinding wheels to carbide alloy (YG8) increased from 11.5 to 19.1.     

Synthesis and Sm/Sm doping effects on photoluminescence properties of Sr4Al14O25

Complete and partial samarium reduction was achieved under strong reducing atmosphere by solid-state and combustion synthesis of Sr_3.96Sm_0.04Al₁₄O₂₅. Dependence of different fluxing agents on the formation of various strontium aluminates was examined. The samples were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, temperature dependent luminescence decay and photoluminescence measurements. Excitation with UV radiation resulted in sharp and well resolved emission lines of samarium ions. Distinct temperature behavior for Sm²⁺ and Sm³⁺ were detected in the range of 100-500 K. Estimated emission thermal quenching values (TQ_1/2) for divalent samarium were approximately 270 K while for trivalent state around 660 K. Measured luminescence decay values of Sm²⁺ are substantially lower than for Sm³⁺,≈1.7 and ≈2.7 ms, respectively. The spectral feature of Sm²⁺ emission spectrum indicates that dopant occupies low symmetry site in Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅ compound.
