Gd3+-Doping Effect on Upconversion Emission of NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+/Tm3+ Microparticles
Keyword(s):
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.
