摘要
Cr3+-doped Nalm(0.70-x)Gd(0.10)F(4):Yb0.18Er0.02Crx nanoparticles were synthesized by one step solvothermal method. The structural, emission properties were studied by XRD, FT-IR, emission spectra. The doping of 15 mol% Cr3+ into NaLu0.70-xGd0.10F4:Yb0.18Er0.02Crx induced cubic-hexagonal phase transition, with a consequent 20 times improvement in the upconversion fluorescence quantum yield. The roles of Cr3+ in the phase transition as well as the mechanism of the multi-photon upconversion process in the material were discussed. The Yb3+-Cr3+ dimer could play the role of as a sensitizer by transferring energy to Er3+. The Cr3+ ions result an asymmetry in the environment surrounding the rare-earth ions, which would favor the hypersensitive transitions. This research may open up a new perspective to prepare high upconversion luminescent materials. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
