β-NaYF4 microcrystals co-doped with Yb3+, Er3+/Tm3+, and Gd3+ ions were synthesized via a hydrothermal method using rare-earth chlorides as the precursors. The SEM and XRD data show that the doped β-NaYF4 form uniform hexagonal prisms with an approximate size of 600–800 nm. The partial substitution of Y by Gd results in size reduction of microcrystals. Upconversion luminescence spectra of microcrystals upon 980 nm excitation contain characteristic intra-configurational ff bands of Er3+/Tm3+ ions. An addition of Gd3+ ions leads to a significant enhancement of upconversion luminescence intensity with maxima at 5 mol % of dopant.

We report simultaneous crystal growth and deposition of upconverting Yb3+/Er3+ doped NaYF4 film (UCF) on conducting and non-conducting substrates by one-step hydrothermal method. The characteristics such as film topography, morphology, crystallographic phase and upconverting luminescence intensity were found to depend both on the chelating agent and nature of the substrate. The characteristics of the prepared films varied interestingly when either the chelating agent or the substrate was changed. The upconversion emission intensities were found to increase with decreasing film roughness. Further, current investigation demonstrated that the NaYF4 films deposited using EDTA or DTPA chelating agents on ITO substrate and EGTA chelating agent on PG substrate were more uniform and resulted in greater upconverted emission intensities. We envision plausible use of current technology in the development of affordable optical platforms for several optoelectronic applications.

Yb3+, Tm3+ co-doped Gd6MoO12 phosphors were prepared by the hydrothermal method. After tuning the PH value and EDTA, phosphors present different morphologies including hexagonal prisms, spindles, and spheres. Under 980nm excitation, the upconversion luminescence properties of the as-prepared phosphors are studied based on changing the synthesis condition. It is found that usage of EDTA and pH changing both play crucial key in the formation of morphology. Pumping power on the UC luminescence properties and level diagram mechanism of Gd6MoO12:Yb3+/Tm3+phosphor have also been discussed.

AbstractFluoroindate glasses co-doped with Pr3+/Er3+ ions were synthesized and their near-infrared luminescence properties have been examined under selective excitation wavelengths. For the Pr3+/Er3+ co-doped glass samples several radiative and nonradiative relaxation channels and their mechanisms are proposed under direct excitation of Pr3+ and/or Er3+. The energy transfer processes between Pr3+ and Er3+ ions in fluoroindate glasses were identified. In particular, broadband near-infrared luminescence (FWHM = 278 nm) associated to the 1G4 → 3H5 (Pr3+), 1D2 → 1G4 (Pr3+) and 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 (Er3+) transitions of rare earth ions in fluoroindate glass is successfully observed under direct excitation at 483 nm. Near-infrared luminescence spectra and their decays for glass samples co-doped with Pr3+/Er3+ are compared to the experimental results obtained for fluoroindate glasses singly doped with rare earth ions.

Monodisperse water-soluble LaF3: Yb3+/Er3+ nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully fabricated via a fast, facile, and environmentally-friendly polyol process with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as an amphiphilic surfactant. The obtained NCs with a small size of 18 nm can be well dispersed in hydrophilic solutions. Meanwhile, their upconversion (UC) luminescence intensity was increased through Ca2+ doping due to the decrease of symmetry around rare earth ions.

The paper presents the results of a study of the luminescent properties of calcium gallate activated by trivalent rare earth ions Yb3+ and Er3+. IR luminescence spectra of samples with a single activator Ca1‑хYbxGa2O4,Ca1‑хErxGa2O4 were studied when excited by radiation sources with a wavelength of 940 and 790 nm, respectively. The dependence of the luminescence intensity of samples on the concentration of rare earth ions is obtained. When the two-activator composition of Ca1‑х‑yYbxEryGa2O4 is excited by a semiconductor laser diode with a wavelength of 940 nm, IR luminescence is registered in the regions of 980-1100 nm and 1450-1670 nm. The radiation in these bands corresponds to electronic transitions in Yb3+ and Er3+ ions, respectively. For a luminescence band with a maximum at a wavelength of 1540 nm, the excitation spectra were measured, the maximum intensity is at the wavelengths: 930, 941, 970, 980 nm. The dependence of the IR luminescence intensity of a solid solution of Ca1‑х‑yYbxEryGa2O4 on the concentration of Er3+ ions was studied. With an increase in the concentration of Er3+ ions in the luminescence spectra, there is a redistribution in the intensity of the bands belonging to Yb3+ and Er3+ ions, which indicates the presence of energy transfer processes between these ions. The kinetics of IR luminescence attenuation was studied for series with one and two activators: Ca1‑хYbxGa2O4,Ca1‑хErxGa2O4, Ca1‑х‑yYbxEryGa2O4. It is established that the luminescence attenuation occurs mainly according to the exponential law, which indicates the predominance of the intracenter luminescence mechanism in the studied structures. Based on the analysis of the excitation and luminescence spectra of experimental samples, conclusions are made about the interaction of Yb3+ and Er3+ activator ions in the crystal lattice of calcium gallate.

LaPO 4 inverse opal photonic crystals with different photonic band gaps were fabricated by template-assisted method. The Yb 3+/ Er 3+ co-doped NaYF 4 nanoparticles were deposited on the surfaces of the inverse opals, and their up-conversion emission properties were investigated. The upconversion emissions of Yb 3+/ Er 3+ co-doped NaYF 4 nanoparticles on the inverse opal surfaces have been enhanced when the upconversion emission bands of the nanoparticles are in the range of photonic band gaps of the inverse opals, which is attributed to an efficient and selective reflection of photonic band gaps.
