Synthesis and Upconversion Luminescence of In2O3 ∶ Ho3+ ,Yb3+ Nanocrystals
nanocrystals with efficient upconversion luminescence were prepared by solvent thermal method using glycol as solvent. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD)
transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
diffuse reflectance spectra
and upconversion luminescence spectra. XRD results indicate that the products are cubic phase. TEM images show that the In
