| Abstract: | NaYF4 microcrystals co-doped with Ho3+ and Yb3+ were prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis. The products were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Upon excitation with a 980 nm laser diode, the sample shows an intense green upconversion emission centered at 540 nm corresponding to the 5S2→5I8 transition of Ho3+. The quadratic dependence of the green emission intensity on the excitation power reveals a two-phonon upconversion process. On the contrary, upon excitation with 448 nm, both visible and near-infrared emissions peaked at 483, 540, 644, 749, and 978 nm are simultaneously observed, which could be assigned to the electronic transitions of Ho3+: 5F3→5I8, 5S2→5I8, 5F5→5I8, 5S2→5I7, and Yb3+: 2F5/2→2F7/2, respectively. The energy transfer processes between Ho3+ and Yb3+ ions and the involved mechanisms have been investigated and discussed. |
