Successful upconversion (UC) tuning from multi-bands to one single red band from Er3+ ions was realized in cubic perovskite ABF3:Yb3+/Er3+ (A = K, Cs; B = Zn, Cd) through Mn2+ doping. Based on UC emission spectra and decay kinetics of KZnF3:Yb3+/Er3+ with different Mn2+ contents, a bidirectional energy transfer process between Mn2+ and Er3+ ions was confirmed to explain the UC tuning mechanism. More importantly, we studied the influence of the Mn2+ energy level position on the UC properties for Er3+ in ABF3 hosts. Interestingly, great enhancement of green UC emissions was observed for Er3+ ions in KCdF3 and CsCdF3 hosts upon Mn2+ doping. Comparison of UC emissions and lifetimes of Er3+ ions in the three materials was carried out to probe the different UC processes in ABF3 (A = K, Cs; B = Zn, Cd) hosts. The different energy transfer mechanism between Mn2+ and Er3+, which is affected by the Mn2+ energy level position, was proposed to explain the UC difference in the three matrices. This research convincingly confirmed the occurrence of energy transfer between Er3+ and Mn2+ ions and provided deep insights into the importance of the Mn2+ energy level position in tuning the UC properties of Er3+ in diverse hosts, while allowing us to better control the UC properties through Mn2+ doping.

Low phonon tantalate-based phosphors with a layer structure are considered to have excellent upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity, which could be reduced due to the existence of impure phase defects and inappropriate doped rare earth ions. To improve their UCL performance, we have prepared single-phase CaTa4O11:Er3+/Yb3+ samples by a molten salt synthesis (MSS) using KCl as the reaction medium and compared its UCL properties with counterparts made by a conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) in this study. We have demonstrated that the MSS samples have a much higher UCL intensity under 980 nm laser excitation than the SSR ones due to accurate replacement of Ca2+ sites by Er3+/Yb3+ in high-purity single-phase MSS samples. We have further enhanced the green UCL intensity of the MSS samples by 1.57 times via acid picking (AP). Under 980 nm laser excitation at a high powder density of 61.3 W/cm2, the green UCL intensity of the MSS-AP samples can reach 3.72 times that of the SSR-AP samples. For potential luminescence thermometry applications, the maximum absolute sensitivity (SA) of the MSS-AP samples reaches 0.01316 K–1 at 501 K based on the luminescence intensity ratio. This study shows that CaTa4O11:Er3+/Yb3+ phosphors prepared by the MSS method are single-phase samples with excellent pure green UCL as a suitable temperature sensing material.

Nanothermometers that can reflect temperature in real-time are crucial for photothermal therapy. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes that conform to Boltzmann distribution will play an important role if they have the above characteristics. Here, the LiLuF 4 : Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ nanocrystals were designed and synthesized by control, exhibiting multiple bright near-infrared emission peaks at 925–1080 nm region at 280–360 K under the excitation of an 808 nm laser. The feasibility of being used as a nanothermometer was confirmed by testing the spectral variation with temperature and analysis.

Visible-light-activated near-infrared luminescent materials are promising photoluminescent materials due to their convenience and low cost. Crystal defects can seriously affect the performance of luminescent materials, and better understanding of the complexity of the structural disorder and electronic structures of such materials opens up new possibilities in luminescent material development. In this work, we successfully design a novel, effective, visible-light-activated near-infrared luminescent Gd 3 Ga 5 O 12 : 4.2%Yb 3+ , 8.4%Er 3+ , and 4.2%Bi 3+ system based on first principles. This exhibits strong emission intensity and high luminous efficiency (0.993) and also has a lifetime (7.002 ms) that is at least twice as long as the longest lifetime reported in published papers. We utilize density functional theory with an effective LSDA + U method to study the structural properties of Gd 3− x − y − z Ga 5 O 12 : x Yb 3+ , y Bi 3+ , z Er 3+ (GGG: Yb 3+ , Bi 3+ , Er 3+ ). The d and f electron orbits of rare-earth ions are considered for an effective Hund exchange. Detailed analysis reveals that GGG: 4.2%Yb 3+ , 8.4%Er 3+ , 4.2%Bi 3+ has the smallest cell volume because of the strong covalent bonds of Bi–O, Er–O, and Yb–O. Bi 3d is a hybridized state that acts as sensitizing ions during the process of luminescence in GGG: Yb 3+ , Bi 3+ , Er 3+ . Together with experimental and theoretical results, we analyze the influence of defects on emission intensity. The locations of Yb 3+ , Er 3+ , and Bi 3+ are determined by X-ray absorption fine structure measurements, which are in agreement with the model constructed using first principles. This work may provide innovative guidance for the design of high-performance visible-light-activated near-infrared luminophores based on calculations and a new methodology for application of coherent laser radar and optical communication.

A series of NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+@NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles doped with Tm3+ and Er3+ were successfully prepared by the solvothermal method. Under 980 nm laser excitation, intense upconversion emission peaks of Tm3+ and Er3+ were observed for all samples. By doping Tm3+ and Er3+ with core–shell partitioning, not only a significant increase in fluorescence intensity could be achieved, but also simultaneous temperature measurements on multiple thermocouple energy levels could be realised. In addition, the temperature sensing performance of different thermocouple energy levels was also investigated, and it was found that the 3F3 → 3H6 and 1G4 → 3F4 thermocouple energy level pairs of Tm3+ were the best, with maximum absolute sensitivity and maximum relative sensitivity of up to 0.0250 K−1 and 2.155% K−1 respectively, higher than the sensitivity of other thermocouple energy levels. It has a temperature resolution of less than 0.0139 K, which is lower than that of most materials available today. By using this material as a probe to build a fiber optic temperature sensor platform, it was found to have reliable temperature measurement performance.

Lanthanide doping has been instrumental in tuning the emissions of double perovskite halides (DPHs) into the near-infrared (NIR) region. However, the limited penetration depth of UV excitation and typically low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of these materials restrict their utility in biomedical applications. In this paper, Cr3+-doped lead-free DPHs (Cs2NaScCl6:Cr3+) have been explored, featuring a broadband NIR emission spanning 800–1300 nm and an impressive PLQY of 76.9%. Oriented toward biological applications, we employ Yb3+ as a codopant to be introduced into Cs2NaScCl6:Cr3+. The novel Cs2NaScCl6:Cr3+,Yb3+ crystal powder displays a red-shifted emission (peaking at 995 nm) with a remarkably narrower full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 51 nm. Importantly, the efficient energy transfer between Cr3+ and Yb3+ enables Cs2NaScCl6:Cr3+,Yb3+ to maintain a PLQY of 46.1% upon 780 nm excitation. Leveraging its NIR-I excitable and NIR-II emissive properties, Cs2NaScCl6:Cr3+,Yb3+ presents great potential in biodetection and bioimaging applications. Its superior energy transfer efficiency, high PLQY, and favorable spectral characteristics position this material as a promising candidate for advanced biomedical techniques requiring deep tissue penetration and high imaging contrast.

Tellurite glasses with the composition 67TeO 2 -3Al 2 O 3 -xZnO-(30-x)Na 2 O (x = 0–20 mol%) were synthesized via melt-quenching. Raman analysis revealed Al/Zn synergistically strengthened the network via Al-O-Te/Zn-O-Te bonds below 15 mol% ZnO, whereas excess ZnO triggered Zn 2+ /Al 3+ site competition, reducing crystallization resistance. The glass with 15 mol% ZnO (TANZ) shows optimal thermal stability ( T g = 311 °C, ΔT = 139 °C) and serves as the host for obtaining mid-infrared emission. The Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped TANZ glass shows high absorption and emission cross-sections of 7.36 × 10 –21 cm 2 and 5.86 × 10 –21 cm 2 , respectively, along with a long lifetime of 1.33 ms at 2 μm. These results highlight the potential of TANZ glasses as robust gain materials for mid-infrared fiber lasers.

Ytterbium and erbium co-doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:Er3+, Yb3+) rare-earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with different phases were prepared and characterized. The luminescence intensity of UCNPs can be enhanced by coating a uniform layer of the shell. The crystal structure, morphology and upconversion spectra of the sample were investigated using X-ray powder diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, and laser upconversion spectrometry with a 980 nm diode laser. Finally, UCNPs with core–shell structure were modified to be hydrophilic by ligand-free hydrophilic modification. Moreover, the water dispersible UCNPs have much stronger luminescence compared with hydrophobic UCNPs.

In this study, the structure and luminescence properties of Yb3+-doped silica materials were investigated by theoretical and experimental methods. The local structure model of Yb3+-doped silica, wherein an Yb3+ ion bonds to the non-bridging oxygen ion outside the ring structure of silica substrate, was established by Gaussian-09 software. Its structural parameters, including Raman spectrum and infrared spectrum, were calculated by density functional theory. The absorption spectrum, and fluorescence spectrum were calculated by time dependent-density functional theory. Meanwhile, Yb3+-doped silica samples were prepared by the sol-gel method using tetraethoxysilane and ytterbium nitrate pentahydrate as precursors. The measured spectra showed that the calculated and experimental results are in good agreement. The measured strong emission at 975 nm with lifetime 774 μs is corresponding to a calculated value of 997 nm.

Due to the strong tissue absorption of short-wave-length light below 600 nm, in vivo imaging based on UCNPs as luminescent probes is still limited. The NIR spectral range (700–1100 nm) and the red region (600–700 nm) are referred to as the “optical window” of the biological tissues because the light scattering, absorbance and autofluorescence of tissue are minimum in this range. Here we synthesized NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+/CdS nanoheterostructures. In the nanoheterostructures, the red (700 nm) and NIR (802 nm) emissions of NaYF4:Yb,Tm were enhanced by 7.3 times, while the blue emission peak at 476 nm nearly disappeared and no peak of CdS appeared. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show that the morphology of the binary nanoparticles is predominantly peanut-like and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+/CdS nanoheterostructure were assignable to both wurtzite phase CdS and hexagonal phase NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+. In comparison, introducing Cd2+ ions or S2− ions or preparation of physical mixture of NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ and CdS did not enhance the red (700 nm) and NIR (802 nm) emissions of NaYF4:Yb, Tm. These results indicated that the interactions in the NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+/CdS nanoheterostructure played a key role for enhancing the NIR emission of NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ nanocrystals. QDs act as a sub energy level to mediate energy transfer of Tm3+. To evaluate the effect of other QDs on the upconverted fluorescence spectrum of NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+, NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+/CdSe nanoheterostructures were also prepared by a similar method. The upconverted fluorescence spectra indicated that by conjugation with CdSe, the NIR emission at 802 nm of NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ was also enhanced greatly.

In this paper, YVO 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ nanoparticles have been successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal technique in the presence of citric acid as a complexing agent followed by a subsequent heat treatment process. The nanostructures, morphologies and upconversion luminescent properties of the as-prepared YVO 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ upconverting nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescent (PL) spectra. XRD results indicate that all the diffraction peaks of samples can be well indexed to the tetragonal phase of YVO 4 . TEM images demonstrate that the samples synthesized hydrothermally consist of granular-like nanoparticles ranging in size from about 30 to 50 nm. After being calcined at 500–800 °C for 2 h, the grain sizes of nanoparticles increase slightly. Additionally, the as-prepared nanoparticles show bright green luminescence corresponding to the 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 transitions of Er 3+ ions under the excitation of a 980 nm diode laser, which might find potential applications in fields such as phosphor powders, infrared detection and display devices.

In order to improve the multi-ion cooperative transition, we proposed and exploited a novel nanoscale effect, namely the nanoshell effect in bulk materials. Based on the effect, an optimal material structure was designed by coating the surfaces of CaF 2 :Yb 3+ micron size particles with ZrO 2 . An about 2 times higher intensity of cooperative luminescence is observed upon laser excitation at 980 nm. Dynamical analysis exhibits that the novel effect plays a key role in improving the performance of cooperative transitions. Our results also suggest that the nanoshell effect in bulk materials is likely to be significant in some special cases, which have not been reported yet in the literature.
