Abstract:
Hexagonal KLaF4:Er3+/Yb3+ nanocrystals (NCs) doped with Na+ were synthesized by hydrothermal process using ethylenediamine as complexing agent. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, respectively. The upconversion (UC) emission spectra and fluorescent decay of 4F9/2 level for samples were observed under excitation by a near infrared laser diode at 980 nm. The upconversion emission intensity was significantly enhanced by introducing different concentrations of Na+, the green and red UC maxium emission intensities of the NCs doped with Na+ were enhanced by about 7.3 and 5.2 times, in comparison with that of the Na+ -free NCs, respectively. The luminescence enhancement should be attributed to the distortion of the local asymmetry around Er3+ and the decreasing organic ligands on the surface of the sample. It was discussed that the fluorescent lifetime of samples doped with Na+ ions were lower than that of the Na+-free sample. © 2016, Chinese Ceramic Society. All right reserved.
