Abstract

Ceramic phosphors Tm_2-xWO₆:xYb³⁺ synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The up-conversion (UC) dynamics in the Yb³⁺-doped Tm₂WO₆ phosphor were investigated, which demonstrated a single-photon UC process from a near-infrared (NIR) excitation at 980 nm to an NIR emission corresponding to the ³H₄ → ³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺. X-ray photoelectron spectra confirmed the chemical states of the constituent elements. The diffuse reflectance spectra confirmed that Tm₂WO₆ requires doping with Yb³⁺ ions in order to be able to absorb the energy at 980 nm. UC emission properties of the phosphors depend on the Yb³⁺ ion concentration. NIR emission of Tm³⁺ is much stronger than visible emissions when Yb³⁺ doping. The NIR and red emissions were caused by a single-photon UC process, whereas the blue emission was caused by a two-photon process. The temperature-dependent UCL showed an initial rise in the UC intensity and then a consistent decrease with the variation in temperature.

通过在 Tm2WO6 荧光粉中掺入 Yb3+ 激活 Tm3+ 单光子近红外-近红外上转换发光

采用固态反应方法合成了陶瓷荧光粉 Tm2-xWO6:xYb3+。研究了掺杂 Yb3+ 的 Tm2WO6 荧光中的上转换（UC）动力学，证明了从 980 纳米的近红外（NIR）激发到对应于 Tm3+ 的 3H4 → 3H6 转变的近红外发射的单光子 UC 过程。X 射线光电子能谱证实了组成元素的化学状态。漫反射光谱证实，Tm2WO6 需要掺杂 Yb3+ 离子才能吸收 980 纳米波长的能量。荧光粉的 UC 发射特性取决于 Yb3+ 离子的浓度。当掺杂 Yb3+ 离子时，Tm3+ 的近红外发射远强于可见光发射。近红外和红色发射是由单光子 UC 过程引起的，而蓝色发射则是由双光子过程引起的。与温度相关的 UCL 显示，UC 强度最初上升，然后随着温度的变化持续下降。
