摘要： This paper reports that hexagonal-phase LaF$_{3}$:Yb$^{3 + }_{0.20}$, Er$^{3 + }_{0.02}$ and LaF$_{3}$:Yb$^{3 + }_{0.20}$, Tm$^{3 + }_{0.02}$ nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, powder x-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis are used to characterize the NCs. Under 980 nm excitation, the Yb$^{3 + }$/Er$^{3 + }$ and Yb$^{3 + }$/Tm$^{3 + }$ codoped NCs colloidal solutions present bright green and blue upconversion fluorescence, respectively. These NCs show efficient infrared-to-violet and infrared-to-visible upconversion. The upconversion fluorescence mechanisms of LaF$_{3}$:Yb$^{3 + }_{0.20}$, Er$^{3 + }_{0.02}$ and LaF$_{3}$:Yb$^{3 + }_{0.20}$, Tm$^{3 + }_{0.02}$ NCs are investigated with a 980-nm diode laser as excitation source.
