摘要：

The upconversion luminescence spectral intensity of Er3+ in Er3+ a rid Yb3+ codoped ZnO nanocrystals with and Without Li+ are investigated. Yb3+ ions as a tradition sensibilizer have efficient energy transfer processes from Yb3+ (F-2(5/2)) to Er3+ (I-4(13/2), I-4(11/2), F-4(9/2)), which lead to the increment of upconversion luminescence intensity. Following by adding Li+ to the Er3+ and Yb3+ codoped ZnO nanocrystals, the upconversion intensity emitted by Er3+ ions is found greatly enhanced. The enhancement is attributed to the distortion of the local field symmetry of Er3+ ions, so increases various intra-4f transitions of Er3+ ions. Both Yb3+ and Li+ can disperse Er3+ ions in specimen, so reduced the interaction between neighboring Er3+ ions. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
