Abstract

In this work, a high-performance up-conversion submicron materials for Yb3+–Tm3+–Er3+ triple-doped lutetium vanadate (LuVO4) obtained via simple solid-state method. X-ray diffractometer results showed that the prepared LuVO4: Yb3+/Tm3+/Er3+ samples kept the crystal phase structure of the host LuVO4. Under 980 nm excitation, LuVO4:Yb3+/Tm3+ phosphors exhibited strong blue light emission. After doping of Er3+ ion the color of LuVO4: Yb3+/Tm3+/Er3+ phosphors were gradually changed from the blue to the green region in the CIE map. Next, the luminous color was evaluated by the correlated color temperature. The temperature-sensing characteristics of material were studied by fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technology which based on thermal coupling levels (TCLs) and non-TCLs, respectively. It was found that the maximum value of Sa2 is 0.03555 K−1@370 K based on the non-TCLs of 1G4 (Tm3+) and 2H11/2 (Er3+), which is higher than the sensitivity of Sa1 0.01004 K−1@370 K obtained through the TCLs of 4S3/2 (Er3+) and 2H11/2 (Er3+). For Yb3+/Tm3+/Er3+ co-doped LuVO4 up-conversion phosphors, the results demonstrate its great potential for fluorescence display and temperature probing.
