A novel upconversion phosphor, Ca 3 (VO 4 ) 2 co-doped with Yb 3+ and Er 3+ , was successfully synthesized via a high-temperature solid-state method. Under 980 nm near-infrared excitation, this material exhibits remarkable upconversion luminescence, with intense green emissions at 527 nm and 550 nm, and a weaker red emission at 657 nm. The optimal doping concentrations were determined to be 0.03 for Yb 3+ and 0.005 for Er 3+ , enabling maximum luminescent efficiency. Spectroscopic investigations including upconversion photoluminescence, excitation, and emission spectra confirmed that the upconversion follows a distinct energy transfer mechanism: Yb 3+ ( 2 F 5/2 ) + Er 3+ ( 4 I 11/2 ) → Yb 3+ ( 2 F 7/2 ) + Er 3+ ( 4 F 7/2 ). In addition to its excellent luminescent properties, the Ca 3 (VO 4 ) 2 : 0.03Yb 3+ /0.005Er 3+ phosphor exhibits reliable optical thermal sensitivity over a wide temperature range (298–673 K), with a peak relative sensitivity of 1.11 % K −1 at 298 K. These outstanding optical characteristics make Ca 3 (VO 4 ) 2 : 0.03Yb 3+ /0.005Er 3+ a promising candidate for display and lighting technologies.

A series of Cd 2+ doped hexagonal-phase NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were synthesized via solvothermal method, and the effect of Cd 2+ on the upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties was investigated in detail. It was found that the introduction of Cd 2+ could enhance the UCL intensities of NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ UCNPs significantly. The maximum enhancement occurred when the doping concentration of Cd 2+ was 7 mol%. Compared with the UCNPs without Cd 2+ doping, the total integral emission intensity was enhanced by ∼38 times. It was related to the unit cell expansion and the generated F − vacancies, which could decrease the crystal symmetry around the Er 3+ ions. The results shall facilitate the improvement of UCL properties and the potential applications of UCNPs in lighting, solar cells, optics encoding and so on.

The internal modification with rare earth ion doping proved to be a very effective strategy for improving the luminescent properties of NaYF 4 -based upconversion materials. However, greatly enhancing the luminescence efficiency of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ remains a major challenge. Herein, the effects of Sn 4+ doping on the structure and luminescent performance of such material were explored. The hydrothermal molten-salt method was applied to synthesize the Sn 4+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ upconversion materials, and their crystal structures, morphologies, surface chemical composition and element states, and luminescence performance were characterized. It was found that Sn 4+ doping can significantly enhance the luminescence intensity and tailor the chromaticity of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ . In particular, the green (G) and red (R) luminescence intensity levels of the 30 mol% Sn 4+ doped material were increased by factors of 26.97 and 38.91, respectively. The R/G ratio was incremented from 0.34 for the undoped material to 0.83 for the 40 mol% Sn 4+ doped counterpart. The Sn 4+ doping led to the change of lattice distortion and crystal growth pattern of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ . The mechanism for Sn 4+ doping to affect the luminescence properties of the prepared upconversion material was also explored. The changes in luminescence intensity levels and R/G ratios could be attributed to the highly asymmetric distorted lattice and crystal field resulting from Sn 4+ doping.

The knowledge of the power density for which luminescence intensity reversal begins with power increase is of valuable importance for practical applications. Under 980 nm CW diode laser excitation, the maximum upconversion luminescence intensities were obtained at 4800, 5700, and 7100 W/cm2 for 2H9/2→4I15/2, 2H11/2&4S3/2→4I15/2, and 4F9/2→4I15/2 transition luminescences, respectively, in compact powder composed by cubic-phase NaYF4:
Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles with a most probable diameter of ∼46 nm. It was revealed experimentally that the reversal power density decreases as luminescent level rises. Excitation increase combined with radiative quantum efficiency decrease as power increase can reproduce this "n"-shape power dependence relationship.

The second near-infrared (NIR II) response photon up-conversion (UC) materials show great application prospects in the fields of biology and optical communication. However, it is still an enormous challenge to obtain efficient NIR II response materials. Herein, we develop a series of Er 3+ doped ternary sulfides phosphors with highly efficient UC emissions under 1532 nm irradiation. β-NaYS 2 :Er 3+ achieves a visible UC efficiency as high as 2.6%, along with high brightness, spectral stability of lights illumination and temperature. Such efficient UC is dominated by excited state absorption, accompanied by the advantage of long lifetimes ( 4 I 9/2 , 9.24 ms; 4 I 13/2 , 30.27 ms) of excited state levels of Er 3+ , instead of the well-recognized energy transfer UC between sensitizer and activator. NaYS 2 :Er 3+ phosphors are further developed for high-performance underwater communication and narrowband NIR photodetectors. Our findings suggest a novel approach for developing NIR II response UC materials, and simulate new applications, eg., simultaneous NIR and visible optical communication.

The rod-like NaNbO 3 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ nanocrystals codoped with Mg 2+ ions were firstly synthesized by hydrothermal method. The effect of Mg 2+ ions on the phase structure and morphology of NaNbO 3 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ was investigated by XRD and SEM spectra. Addition of Mg 2+ ions enhanced the intensities of green and red UC emissions by about 3 times and prolonged the lifetime of the 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 transition of Er 3+ ions. The pump power dependences were measured to understand the upconversion mechanism under 980 nm excitation. The tailored local environment of Er 3+ ions by codoping Mg 2+ ions was responsible for the improved optical characteristics of NaNbO 3 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ /Mg 2+ nanocrystals.

Yb3+/Er3+ codoped spherical Gd2O3 phosphors with different particle sizes were prepared via a urea-assisted homogeneous precipitation process by adjusting the molar ratio of rare earth ions and urea followed by annealing at high temperature. The phases, morphologies, and luminescence properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectra, respectively. The spherical Gd2O3:Yb3+/Er3+ phosphors showed size-dependent upconversion luminescence properties under the excitation of 980 nm-laser. The temperature sensing behavior of spherical Gd2O3:Yb3+/Er3+ phosphors with different particle sizes was studied based on the change of emission intensities from two thermally coupled 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 levels. It is interesting to observe that the sensing sensitivity of the sample increases with decreasing particle size and a sensitivity of 84 × 10−4 K−1 was obtained for the sample with a particle size of 45 nm. Finally, Judd–Ofelt theory was used for explaining and predicting the effect of particle size on sensing sensitivity.

Upconversion luminescence and optical temperature sensing properties of Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Li + tri-doped ZnMoO 4 phosphors were investigated. It has been demonstrated that Li + doping affected not only the local symmetry of Yb 3+ and Er 3+ but also the distribution of them in the host lattice. As a result, the significantly improved green upconversion luminescence was obtained when excited at 980 nm. The pumping power dependent photo-thermal behavior was used to evaluate the reliability of upconversion temperature sensing. An accurate temperature scale was established by eliminating the impact of thermal effect, and the sensing ability was evaluated via a comparison with the results reported in literatures.

A strategy is demonstrated for simultaneous size and color tuning of KZnF 3 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals through transition metal Mn 2+ doping. The experimental results indicate that the introduction of Mn 2+ into the KZnF 3 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ reaction system facilitates the decrease of the crystal size. Moreover, in the case of a high concentration of Mn 2+ doping, the downshifting (DS) and upconversion (UC) luminescence all show a single red band emission. In this work, we mainly investigate the DS and UC energy transfer process among Mn 2+ /Yb 3+ /Er 3+ in KZnF 3 nanocrystals by the detection and analysis of the absorption, excitation, emission, and transient fluorescence spectra. The results show that both Mn 2+ and Yb 3+ ions can decrease the green emission while improving the red luminescence of Er 3+ . This DS and UC single red color tuning is significant for the application of nanoparticles in light conversion, biological labeling, or plant photosynthesis.

Hollow upconversion luminescence nanomaterials have widespread applications in drug delivery, high efficiency catalysis, as well as energy storage owes to super-large specific surface area, cavity volume, and fluorescence properties. However, a series of complex processes and high temperature
is required for the synthesis of these materials. Herein, a facile template-free coprecipitation route based on the Kirkendall diffusion process at room temperature had been developed to synthesize hollow NaBiF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanospheres with upconversion luminescence.
X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsoption/desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and upconversion emission spectra demonstrated the successful preparation of NaBiF4:Yb3+/Er3+
nanospheres with pervasive hollow morphology, relatively high specific surface area, and excellent upconversion luminescence properties. Moreover, the influence of some reaction parameters on the morphology and structure of the obtained samples were systematically explored. Additionally, the
evolution mechanism of the hollow structure nanospheres was analyzed on account of the Kirkendall diffusion process related to the solid–liquid interfacial ion migration. It is expected that these hollow upconversion NaBiF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanospheres with
upconversion luminescence prepared by this type of synthetic strategy will have widespread medical, environmental, and energy applications.

Growth of Er 3+ -doped 100-nm thick LiNbO 3 (LN) films on Z-cut LiTaO 3 (LT) single-crystal by e -beam evaporation and in-situ anneal at 600–800°C was studied. Crystalline phase, crystallographic orientation, Er 3+ spectroscopic properties, constituent element valence states, defects, Er 3+ concentration and stoichiometry of the films were characterized. The results show that the films are in LN single-crystal state and orient along with c crystallographic axis. Constituent elements Li, O and Er are present in their respective single valence states Li + , O 2− , Er 3+ , while the Nb is in two valence states Nb 5+ and Nb 4+ . The films have Li 2 O-contents around congruent point. Antisite(Nb Li 4+ ) is the major defect. Its concentration decreases, while Li 2 O-content, crystallinity degree, and fluorescence intensity increase with increased growth temperature. The presence of Er 3+ in the grown films is in the form of LN crystalline phase. Its concentration is considerably lower than that in initial target material because of lower e -beam evaporation efficiency of heavy Er 3+ .

An optical heater based on hexagonal NaGdF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ is reported. XRD , SEM and EDS characterization results show that F − /Ln 3+ can not only control the phase composition , particle size and morphology, but also affect the effective doping concentration of Yb 3+ and Er 3+ . When F − /Ln 3+ is 12/1, the strongest upconversion luminescence is obtained. Based on the luminescent temperature sensing behavior of Er 3+ , the photo-thermal conversion performance was investigated. The results indicate that the temperature of irradiation spot is linearly dependent on the power density, and the photo-thermal responsivity is determined to be 3.3 K·cm 2 /W. Also, it is found that the photo-thermal conversion efficiency can be regulated by changing the Yb 3+ doping concentration. Compared with the nano-gold, copper sulfide and carbon nanotubes , the NaGdF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ has the triple functions of upconversion luminescence, temperature sensing, and photo-thermal conversion, and may therefore be a promising optical heater for photo-thermal therapy of tumors.
