摘要
Monoclinic phase Gd2O3:Er3+ nanophosphors were synthesized by the glycine-nitrate process (GNP). Green, red and blue/ultraviolet (UV) radiations were observed by 980 nm diode laser excitation. Obvious enhancement of the red and blue/UV emissions from the F-4(9/2), H-2(9/2) and (4)G(11/2) levels were observed with increasing Er3+ ions doping concentration. Power dependence study revealed that two and three photons processes are involved in the upconversion process. Emissions excited by an Ar+ laser verified the analysis of the upconversion mechanism and indicated that the phonon assisted energy transfer process 4I(11/2) +4I(11/2) - F-4(9/2) + 4I(3/2) becomes prominent and greatly enhances both the red and blue/UV upconversions with increasing Er3+ ion doping.
