Abstract

Rare earth Er³⁺ mono-doped upconverted sodium crystals were prepared, and the effects of the doping and the reaction time on the structure, morphology and luminescence properties of the materials were investigated, and then these conditions were optimized. The NaYF4: x%Er3+ has a hexagonal crystalline phase with homogeneous morphology. Under 980 nm excitation (with a power of 2.0W) the optimal rare-earth-element doping ratio of NaYF4: 2%Er3+ has a good emission spectrum with color coordinates (0.34, 0.56). The phosphor-dependent luminescence spectra were measured, and the fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR) of its optical thermometer was calculated and fitted [1]. This experimental result lays the foundation for the field of temperature probing of the upconversion luminescence.
