Enhanced Up-Conversion of High Concentration Yb3+/Er3+-Doped β-Nayf4 Microparticles by Changing the Host Matrix

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

With the aim of improving the up-conversion luminescence intensity of high concentration Yb3+/Er3+-doped microparticles, Yb3+/Er3+-doped β-NaYF4/β-NaLuF4/β-NaYbF4 samples were prepared by the hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the crystal structure and morphology. Intense blue emission (2H11/2 → 4I15/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2) and red emission (4F9/2 → 4I15/2) of Er3+ were observed under 980-nm excitation. When the doping concentrations of Yb3+ and Er3+ were high, the up-conversion luminescence intensity using β-NaYbF4 as the host matrix was enhanced, and in the experiment the sample NaYbF4:16 mol%Yb3+/32 mol%Er3+ with β-NaYbF4 as the host matrix has the strongest luminescence.
