摘要
ZnO-TiO2 composite system containing EP and Yb3+ were prepared by solid state reaction method and its upconversion (UC) luminescence excited by 980 nm laser was studied for the first time. The effects of firing temperature, ZnO/TiO2 composition and Er3+, Yb3+ concentrations on the UC emission behavior were examined. The ZnO-TiTiO2 composite product sintered at 1200 degrees C contained Zn2TiO4, TiO2 and RE2Ti2O7 (RE = Er3+ and Yb3+) phases and exhibited strong green and red emissions arising due to the 2E111129 4S312 4115/2 and 4E912 -* 4115/2 transitions for Er3+ ion, respectively. Bright orange color by the mixing of green and red colors was observed in the 1Zn0-1TiO2 product doped with 2 at.% Er3+ and 6 at.% Yb3+. The ZnO-TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+ phosphor was compared to the brightest available phosphor, Y2O3:Er3+, Yb3+ and found to be 3-fold brighter than it. It suggests that Zn0-TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+ is a potential material for the orange upconversion phosphor. (C) 2013 Elsevier BM. All rights reserved.
