Abstract: | We investigate upconversion emissions in alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, and K+) and Er3+-codoped Y2O3 nanocrystals. By introducing Li+, upconversion intensity is significantly enhanced, while Na+ and K+ hardly have this influence. FT-IR data give evidence that the main mechanisms of the enhanced upconversion emission cannot be attributed to the decreased surface defects. EXAFS data and variations of enhanced upconversion intensities in different samples indicate that Li+ can occupy the interstitial sites in lattice and thus arouse large site asymmetry. In addition, locations in the samples and effects on the upconversion emission of Na+ and K+ are discussed. |
