摘要
We report the vapor phase synthesis of upconverting Y2O3 nanocrystals doped with Yb3+, Er3+, Ho3+, and Tm3+ to generate red, green, blue, and white light. Incorporating Er3+ within the Yb3+ doped Y2O3 nanocrystals under 980 nm laser excitation produced orange and yellow upconversion luminescence tunable by varying the Yb3+ concentration. The Yb3+, Er3+, and Tm3+ codoped Y2O3 nanocrystals exhibited nearly equal intensities of the red, green, and blue emissions upon 980 nm laser excitation. White light can be produced by adjusting the concentrations of the Ln(3+) ions within the Y2O3 nanocrystals.
