AbstractSingle crystals of two cesium rare-earth molybdates CsLn(MoO4)2(Ln=Eu, Tb) have been prepared using the high temperature molten salt (flux) method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that they crystallize in the orthorhombic space groupPccm(No. 49) and features a 2D layer structure that is composed of [Ln(MoO4)2]∞and [Cs]∞layers. Under near-UV light excitation, emission spectrum of CsEu(MoO4)2consists of several sharp lines due to the characteristic electronic transitions of Eu3+ions, whereas CsTb(MoO4)2exhibits characteristic green emission of Tb3+ions.

Miniaturization requests and progress in nanofabrication are prompting worldwide interest in nanophosphors as white-emission mercury-free lighting sources. By comparison with their bulk counterparts, nanophosphors exhibit reduced concentration quenching effects and a great potential to enhance luminescence efficiency and tunability. In this paper, the physics of the nanophoshors is overviewed with a focus on the impact of spatial confinement and surface-to-volume ratio on the luminescence issue, as well as rare earth-activated multicolor emission for white light (WL) output. In this respect, the prominently practiced strategies to achieve WL emission are single nanophosphors directly yielding WL by means of co-doping and superposition of the individual red, green, and blue emissions from different nanophosphors. Recently, a new class of efficient broadband WL emitting nanophosphors has been proposed, i.e., nominally un-doped rare earth free oxide (yttrium oxide, Y2O3) nanopowders and Cr transition metal-doped garnet nanocrystals. In regard to this unconventional WL emission, the main points are: it is strictly a nanoscale phenomenon, the presence of an emitting center may favor WL emission without being necessary for observing it, and, its inherent origin is still unknown. A comparison between such an unconventional WL emission and the existing literature is presented to point out its novelty and superior lighting performances.

Similar to many other Eu2+,RE3+-co-doped persistent luminescence materials, for Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,RE3+ the initial intensity and duration of persistent luminescence was also found to depend critically on the rare-earth (RE) co-doping. An enhancement of 1 - 2 orders of magnitude in these properties could be obtained by Dy3+ co-doping whereas total quenching of persistent luminescence resulted from the use of Sm3+ and Yb3+. To solve this drastic disparity, the effects of the individual RE3+ ions were studied with thermoluminescence (TL) spectroscopy to derive information about the formation of traps storing the excitation energy. The charge compensation defects were concluded to be the origin of the complex TL glow curve structure. The tuning of the band gap of the Sr2MgSi2O7 host and especially the position of the bottom of the conduction band due to the Eu2+,RE3+ co-doping was measured with the synchrotron radiation vacuum UV (VUV) excitation spectra of the Eu2+ dopant. The model based on the evolution of the band gap energy with RE3+ co-doping was found to explain the intensity and duration of the persistent luminescence.

Introduction: Rare earth-doped Upconverting Nanoparticles (UCN's) can convert near-infrared photons into visible photons via multiphoton processes, which makes it a good material for generating white light. The production of luminescent materials for technology applications focuses on controlling powder characteristics such as chemical homogeneity and low impurity levels. Objective: In this research study, we synthesized Er3+ (1%) Tm3+ (1%) Yb3+ (at different percentages) by co-doping Y2O3 NPs, using the Controlled-Pressure Hydrothermal Method (CPHM), with nitrogen. The ratio used was chosen to conduct a detailed photolumniscence analysis. Methods: Samples of Y2O3: Er3+ (1%) Tm3+ (1%) Yb3+ (at 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%) were prepared using the controlled-pressure hydrothermal method (CPHM). Each solution was transferred into a mini-clave drive Büchiglasuster with an inner Teflon vessel. In this case, the mini-clave was heated at 190°C for 3 h, and nitrogen was used to control the pressure. The initial pressure was 20 bars; it was increased during the process to 42 bars. The powders obtained were washed with distilled water using centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 15 min. The washed product was dried to 120°C, followed by subsequent heat treatment at 1000°C for 5 h. Results: The representative XRD patterns for the Y2O3: Er3+ (1%) Tm3+ (1%) and Yb3+ (at 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%) doped samples confirms the presence of a cubic Y2O3 crystal structure. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images show that the morphology of these particles is spherical. Upconversion photoluminescence spectra of Y2O3:Er3+ (1% mol) Tm3+ (1% mol) Yb3+ (1.5% mol), Yb3+ (2.0% mol), and Yb3+ (2.5% mol), after 908-nm excitation. Blue, green, and red bands are centred at 440 nm, 469 nm, 618 nm, and 678 nm, respectively. Conclusion: The controlled-pressure hydrothermal method is a productive method for synthesizing rare earth-doped and codoped Y2O3; when Er3+, Yb3+, and Tm3+ ions are introduced into the host matrix, they do not cause any changes in the cubic structure nor influence the crystal structure. This method can used to synthesize any type of nanoparticle, because it involves low pressure (10-20 bars), low temperatures, and short time reactions.
