Near-Infrared Quantum Cutting Long Persistent Luminescence

چکیده
By combining the unique features of the quantum cutting luminescence and long persistent luminescence, we design a new concept called "near-infrared quantum cutting long persistent luminescence (NQPL)", which makes it possible for us to obtain highly efficient (>100%) near-infrared long persistent luminescence in theory. Guided by the NQPL concept, we fabricate the first NQPL phosphor Ca2Ga2GeO7:Pr(3+),Yb(3+). It reveals that both the two-step energy transfer of model (I) and the one-step energy transfer of model (IV) occur in (3)P0 levels of Pr(3+). Although the actual efficiency is not sufficient for the practical application at this primitive stage, this discovery and the associated materials are still expected to have important implications for several fields such as crystalline Si solar cells and bio-medical imaging.

Infrared quantum cutting involving Yb3+ 950-1,000 nm (2 F5/2 → 2 F7/2) and Ho3+ 1,007 nm (5S2,5F4 → 5I6) as well as 1,180 nm (5I6 → 5I8) emissions is achieved in BaGdF5: Ho3+, Yb3+ nanoparticles which are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route. The mechanisms through first- and second-order energy transfers were analyzed by the dependence of Yb3+ doping concentration on the visible and infr...

The quantum cutting phenomenon of a blue photon into two infrared photons is reported in glass codoped with Pr-Yb ions. Oxyfluoride glass with compositions of 32SrF2-0.1PrF3-2.9YbF3-42SiO2-23Al2O3 were prepared, and photoluminescence properties in the range from visible to near-infrared were investigated. Evidence of several energy transfers, such as (Pr:P0→G4)→(Yb:F5/2←F7/2) and (Pr:D2→F4, F3)...

Band structure and near infrared quantum cutting investigation of GdF3:Yb3+, Ln3+ (Ln = Ho, Tm, Er, Pr, Tb) nanoparticles.
A series of GdF3:Yb(3+), Ln(3+) (Ln = Ho, Tm, Er, Pr, Tb) nanoparticles were prepared by a simple and green hydrothermal method without any additives, which exhibited an ellipse-like shape with a diameter of 63 nm and a length of 101 nm on average. To prove the existence (or not) of near infrared quantum cutting for various lanthanide ion couples (Yb/Ho; Yb/Tm; Yb/Er; Yb/Pr; Yb/Tb) in one host ...

Near infrared (NIR)-emitting persistent luminescent nanoparticles have been developed as potential agents for bioimaging. However, synthesizing uniform nanoparticles with long afterglow for long-term imaging is lacking. Here, we demonstrated the synthesis of spinel structured Zn3Ga2Ge2O10:Cr3+ (ZGGO:Cr3+) and Zn3Ga2Ge2O10:Cr3+,Eu3+ (ZGGO:Cr3+,Eu3+) nanoparticles by a sol-gel method in combinati...
