Abstract

Infrared-to-visible upconversion emission spectrum is investigated in Li+, Ho3+ and Yb3+ codoped Y2O3 nanocrystals. By adding Li+ ion to the Y2O3:Ho3+/Yb3+ nanocrystal, the upconversion emission intensity is found being significantly enhanced comparing with that without Li+ ion. The two reasons for this enhancement are discussed: one is because of the modification of the local symmetry of the Ho3+ ion, and the other is because of the reducing number of OH groups. This indicates Li+ ion would be a wonderful photoluminescence intensifier for rare-earth.
