Influence of Gd3+ Doping on The Luminescence Properties of Upconverting NaErF4: Yb Nanocrystals
Gd nanocrystals with bright red emissions were prepared
via
a facile solvothermal method. The crystalline phase
size and the relative intensity of upconversion luminescence can be simultaneously manipulated by adjusting Gd
3+
ions contents. The introduction of Gd
3+
can effectively promote the cubic to hexagonal phase transformation
size reduction and obviously upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity improvement of NaErF
4
:Yb
Gd nanocrystals. XRD
TEM and UCL spectra results reveal that the sample co-doped with 25% Gd
3+
ions (mole fraction) of NaErF
4
:Yb system exhibits the optimized structural and optical properties. Meanwhile
the mechanism involving upconverting photon excitation and energy transfer between Yb
3+
ions and Er
3+
ions were investigated under the excitation of 980 nm diode laser.
