Upconversion Luminescence Properties of NaYF4 : Tm3+,Yb3+Synthesized by Co-precipitation Method
The upconversion (UC) processes of infrared light to visible light of rare earth ions doped different hosts have been investigated extensively
due to their potential applications in some fields
such as solid-state lasers
display
communications
and so on. The recent researches emerging at the intersection of nanotech-nology and biotechnology are opening up a new period for the development of UC. As known
the controlled fabrication of a host with aimed structure is important for enhancing the upconversion efficiency
because the phonon energy of the host can affect the probabilities of non-radiative decay and the energy transfer. Therefore
it is necessary to choose a lattice with much lower phonon energy
which is benefit to the upconversion luminescence. Rare earth-doped hexagonal sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF<sub>4</sub>) is a good host
which is known to be a very efficient near-infrared to visible upconverter. The hexagonal NaYF<sub>4</sub> has low phonon energy. The structure of hexagonal phase gives rise to controversy about the cation sites and distribution. The trivalent thulium (Tm<sup>3+</sup>) is an ideal candidate for single wavelength NIR upconversion due to its ladder of nearly equally spaced energy levels that are multiples of the <sup>1</sup>G<sub>4</sub>→<sup>3</sup>H<sub>6</sub> transition. The development of compact blue lasers based on Tm<sup>3+</sup> upconversion processes is nowadays widely studied mainly due to the potential of high perfor-mance OEM applications
such as biomedical and analytical instrumentation
display
photoprinting. In thu-lium doped media
the efficiency of this process is very low
but it was noticed that the mechanism could be made one or two orders of magnitude more efficient by using ytterbium(Yb<sup>3+</sup>). In this paper
trivalent thu-lium (Tm<sup>3+</sup>) and yttebium (Yb<sup>3+</sup>) ions codoped NaYF<sub>4</sub> were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The concentration of Tm<sup>3+</sup> and Yb<sup>3+</sup> are 0.01%
0.1%
respectively. The absorption spectrum of NaYF<sub>4</sub>∶Tm<sup>3+</sup>
Yb<sup>3+</sup> from 300 to 1 100 nm was measured at room temperature. The upconversion emission was observed when excited by 798 nm. The green and blue upconversion emission spectra were measured. Based on the experimental results the possible upconversion mechanism was analyzed. The main mechanism is the in-direct sensitization of Tm<sup>3+</sup> and Yb<sup>3+</sup>. The blue emitting light results from the transition of <sup>1</sup>G<sub>4</sub>→<sup>3</sup>H<sub>6</sub> of Tm<sup>3+</sup>
green emitting light is from the transition of <sup>1</sup>D<sub>2</sub> →<sup>3</sup>F<sub>4</sub> of Tm<sup>3+</sup>. To our knowledge
there have not been similar works published domestically and abroad. The structural properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that NaYF<sub>4</sub>∶Tm<sup>3+</sup>
Yb<sup>3+</sup> prepared by co-precipitation method exhibits hexagonal crystal phase.
