The bright upconversion luminescence was observed under the excitation of 980 nm laser and the upeonversion emission spectra were investigated at different pump powers. The emission intensity ratio of red light to green light linearly increased with pump power increasing. This result indicated that there existed a large threshold power of saturation pump for the first excitation state in NaYFa：Yb,Er nanocrystals comparing to that in bulk material.展开更多

The phase changes to the mixture of β-Na YF4 and β-KYF4 with increasing the content of K^＋ions to 80 mol%.When it exceeds 80 mol%, β-Na YF4 disappears gradually and β-KYF4 dominates with a poor crystalline. In addition, the morphology changes from nanosphere to nanoplate, and then to nanoprism, which indicates that a higher content of K^＋ions favors the growth rates along [0001] than the [10-10] of the nanocrystals. Additionally, the upconversion（UC） luminescence properties and the ratio of red/green（R/G） UC intensity of samples with different phases and morphologies are detected,which makes it possible to tune the UC fluorescence by varying the concentration of K^＋ions.展开更多
