中文摘要：

采用碳酸氢铵（NH4HCO3）为沉淀剂,用共沉淀法制备Yb3＋和Tm3＋共掺杂的Lu2O3：Yb3＋,Tm3＋纳米晶。研究Tm3＋摩尔分数、Yb3＋摩尔分数和煅烧温度对Lu2O3：Yb3＋,Tm3＋纳米晶的结构和上转换发光性能的影响。结果表明：所制备的纳米晶具有纯的Lu2O3相,结晶性较好。当掺杂的Tm3＋浓度超过0.2%（摩尔分数）时,出现浓度淬灭效应。Tm3＋和Yb3＋的最佳掺杂比分别为0.2%和2%（摩尔分数）。在980nm半导体激光器的激发下,样品发射出蓝光（490nm）和红光（653nm）,分别对应Tm3＋的1G4→3H6和1G4→3F4跃迁。发射强度与激发功率的关系表明,Tm3＋的1G4能级布居是三光子能量传递过程。随着煅烧温度的升高,上转换发光强度增强,这主要是因为随着温度的升高纳米晶表面的OH？减少和纳米晶尺寸增大。

英文摘要：

Lutetium oxide nanocrystals codoped with Tm3＋ and Yb3＋ were synthesized by the reverse-like co-precipitation method, using ammonium hydrogen carbonate as precipitant. Effects of the Tm3＋, Yb3＋ molar fractions and calcination temperature on the structural and upconversion luminescent properties of the Lu2O3 nanocrystals were investigated. The XRD results show that all the prepared nanocrystals can be readily indexed to pure cubic phase of Lu2O3 and indicate good crystallinity. The experimental results show that concentration quenching occurs when the mole fraction of Tm3＋ is above 0.2%. The optimal Tm3＋ and Yb3＋ doped molar fractions are 0.2% and 2%, respectively. The strong blue （490 nm） and the weak red （653 nm） emissions from the prepared nanocrystals were observed under 980 nm laser excitation, and attributed to the 1G4→3H6 and IG4→3F4 transitions of Tm3＋, respectively. Power-dependent study reveals that the 1G4 levels of Tm3＋ can be populated by three-step energy transfer process. The upconversion emission intensities of 490 nm and 653 nm increase gradually with the increase of calcination temperature. The enhancement of the upconversion luminescence is suggested to be the consequence of reducing number of OH- groups and the enlarged nanoerystal size.
