摘要
In this paper, we observed that in Er3+/Yb3+ codoped nanocrystals (NC), with the decreasing particle size and the increasing Yb3+ concentration, the upconversion luminescence (UCL) of the red emissions of F-4(9/2)-I-4(15/2) gradually increased, while the green emissions of S-4(3/2)/H-2(11/2) gradually diminished under 980 nm diode laser excitation. In NC with lower Yb3+ concentration, both the red and green emissions result from a two-photon excitation. In NC with higher Yb3+ concentration, the red emissions result from a two-photon excitation, while the green emissions dominantly result from a three-photon excitation. A model was provided for explaining the above UCL phenomena. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
