摘要
Upconversion (UC) emission tuning from green to red in monodisperse NaYF4:Yb3+/Ho3+ nanocrystals was successfully achieved by tridoping with Ce3+ ions under diode laser excitation of 970 nm. It is proposed that two efficient cross-relaxation processes, S-5(2)/F-5(4)(Ho) + F-2(5/2)(Ce) -> F-5(5)(Ho) + F-2(7/2)(Ce) and I-5(6)(Ho) + F-2(5/2)(Ce) -> I-5(7)(Ho) + F-2(7/2)(Ce) between Ho3+ and Ce3+ ions, have been employed to select UC pathways to tune the UC radiation. Theoretical investigations based on steady-state equations demonstrate the proposed UC mechanisms and explain well the observed linear increase of the UC red-to-green intensity ratio with the increment of Ce3+ ion concentrations.
