通过燃烧法制备了Yb^3+ -Tm^3+共掺的Y2O3纳米粉体,并对样品在980 nm激光照射下的上转换发光特性进行了研究.实验发现,样品在可见光区域能够产生强烈的蓝色发光(476nm和487nm)和较弱的红色发光(约650nm),而且同时观察到了两个紫外发光峰^1I6→^3H6(~297nm)和^1D2→^3H6(~363nm).通过比较Yb^3+离子浓度与上转换发光光谱的关系,对可能的敏化机理进行了探讨.最后,通过测量Y2O3:Yb^3+(2%),Tm^3+的发光强度随抽运功率的变化,得出红、蓝光为三光子过程,而363nm的紫外发光为四光子过程,并进一步验证了上转换发光机理.
The Y203 : Yb^3+ , Tm^3+ nanomaterials are prepared by a combustion method. The sample is excited by 980 nm, thereby producing a bright blue emission transition peak (476 nm and 487 nm) and a weak red emission peak ( about 650 nm) that can be clearly observed. More important two ultraviolet emission peaks ^1I6→^3H6( ~ 297 nm) and ^1D2→^3H6 ( ~ 363 nm) are found. In addition, the change of upconversion emission intensity dependent on the Yb^3+ concentrations was recorded and the possible eauses are discussed. Finally, the pump energy dependences of the emission intensity are investigated. The results show that blue and red emissions originate from a three-photon process and uhraviolet emission peak (363 nm) takes its source at a four-photon process.
