主 题:downshifting LiLaP4O12 rb3+ yb3+ rare earths
摘 要:Downshifting behavior of the Tb3+-gb3+ co-doped nanocrystalline LiLaP4012 powders synthesized by co-precipitation method was presented and discussed. The structural phase purity of obtained material was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Strong enhancement of ytterbium 2 2 - 3+ F5/2- F7/2 emission intensity was observed with decreasing Tb concentration un- der UV excitation. Dependence of efficiency of energy transfer between dopants on pumping wavelength was investigated due to bet- ter understanding of down-shifting mechanism. It was found that luminescence intensity of Yb3+ decreased above 10 tool.% dopant con- tent, what was caused by concentration quenching. The power dependence measurements were carried out at 77 and 300 K. The re- sulting slopes had the same value of 1, what indicated the existence of linear down-shifting process, independent of the temperature.
