Environmental impact on the excitation path of the red upconversion emission of nanocrystalline NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+
- The mechanism for red upconversion luminescence of Yb−Er codoped materials is not generally agreed on in the literature. Both two-photon and three-photon processes have been suggested as the main path for red upconversion emission. We have studied β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles in H2O and D2O, and we propose that the nanoparticle environment is a major factor in the selection of the preferred red upconversion excitation pathway. In H2O, efficient multiphonon relaxation (MPR) promotes the two-photon mechanism through green emitting states, while, in D2O, MPR is less effective and the three-photon path involving back energy transfer to Yb3+ is the dominant mechanism. For the green upconversion emission, our results suggest the common two-photon path through the 4F9/2 energy state in both H2O and D2O.
