Hydrothermal synthesis and up-conversion luminescence of Ho3+/Yb3+ co-doped CaF2

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/6/064212

Abstract CaF₂:Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ nano-particles with intense green up-conversion (UC) luminescence are successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal approach by using NH₄F as the fluoride source and Na₂EDTA as a chelating reagent. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and UC emission spectra are used to characterize the structures, shapes, and luminescent properties of the samples. The effects from fluoride sources and chelating reagents on the formations of CaF₂ nano-particles are investigated, and the formation process is also deduced. Under the excitation of a 980-nm laser diode, the samples each show a green up-conversion emission centered at 540 nm corresponding to the ⁵S₂/⁵F₄→⁵I₈ transitions of Ho³⁺. Moreover, the UC mechanisms of Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped CaF₂ nano-particles are also discussed.

Keywords: CaF₂ nano-particles up-conversion hydrothermal synthesis
