Upconversion luminescence spectra of the samples were studied under 980 nm laser excitation. The results of XRD showed that the obtained Y2O3：Er^3＋,Yb^3＋ nanoparticles were of a cubic structure. The average crystallite sizes calculated were in the range of 28-40 nm. Green and red upconversion emission were observed, and attributed to ^2H11/2,^4S3/2→^4I15/2 and ^4F9/2→^4I15/2 transitions of the ion, respectively. The ratio of the intensity of green emission to that of red emission drastically changed with a change in the EDTA 2Na concentration. In the sample synthesized without EDTA, the relative intensity of the green emission was weaker than that of the red emission. The relative intensities of green emission increased with the increased amount of EDTA 2Na used. The possible upconversion luminescence mechanisms were discussed.展开更多

The structural properties of Y2O3：Er^3＋ films were characterized with X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the Y2O3：Er^3＋ films might have high upconversion efficiency because of their low vibrational energy. Under 785 and 980 nm laser excitation, the samples showed green （^2H11/2→^4I15/2, ^4S3/2→^4I15/2） and red （^4F9/2→^4I15/2） upconversion emissions. The upconversion mechanisms were studied in detail through laser power dependence. Excited state absorption and energy transfer process were discussed as possible upconversion mechanisms. The cross relaxation process in Er^3＋ was also investigated.展开更多

Their morphology, specific surface area, porosity, UV-vis. absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra were measured using SEM, TEM, surface analysis, UV-vis. absorption and photoluminescence spectrophotometry. SEM and TEM showed that samples prepared using coprecipitation were dispersed, while Y2O3 :Er3+ /TiO2 particles possessed a mesoporous surface and average diameter of about 10 nm. The specific surface area and porosity of Y2O3 :Er3+ /TiO2 did not result from the combination of the individual properties of Y2O3 :Er3+ and TiO2 . The specific surface area of Y2O3 :Er3+ /TiO2 was 135.991 m 2 /g and was 4.8 times that of Y2O3 :Er3+ and 2.5 times that of Degussa P25 TiO2 . A high specific surface area is conducive for application to TiO2 photocatalysis. The fluorescence spectra of the three composites exhibited three upconversion emission peaks with maxima at 237, 395 and 467 nm following excitation at 388, 500 and 570 nm, respectively.展开更多

The X-ray diffrac- tion pattern shows that as-prepared Y2O3：Er^3＋ is the cubic phase crystal with a grain size of about 30 nm. The UV-Vis spec- trum indicates Y^O3：Er^3＋ exhibits five ultraviolet visible absorption peaks at 365, 377, 489, 521 and 652 nm respectively. Meanwhile, the fluorescence spectra of Y2O3：Er^3＋ display four emission peaks at 522, 537, 550 and 562 nm at the excitation of 365,377 and 521 nm, respectively. The green-emitting fluorescent mechanism of Y2O3：Er^3＋ is proposed as well. Additionally, the temperature dependence of fluorescence properties and metal Ag fluorescence enhancement effect are investigated. Results show that increasing the annealing temperature and metal Ag doping both can enhance the fluorescence intensity. The maxi- mum enhancement is 87.5% after Ag is doped.展开更多
