Abstract

Through the study of photoluminescence spectra, fluorescence decay curves, concentration-dependent luminescence and low temperature luminescence, the energy transfer from isolated \(\mathrm{VO}_{4}^{3-}\) group to Yb3+ is investigated in Yb3+ doped YP0.9V0.1O4. The experimental results show that the energy transfer from \(\mathrm{VO}_{4}^{3-}\) group to Yb3+ is very efficient. Cooperative energy transfer, through which one high-energy photon absorbed by \(\mathrm{VO}_{4}^{3-}\) group is converted to two near-infrared photons emitted by Yb3+ ions, is proposed to be the energy transfer process. This efficient ultra-violet to near-infrared downconversion could have potential application in improving the efficiency of silicon-based solar cell.
