Abstract

Tm ³⁺ ion doped α-NaYbF ₄ nanocrystals (NCs) and β-NaYbF ₄ microcrystals (MCs) were prepared by one-step hydrothermal method through tuning pH values. Through the comparative study on the crystal growth mechanism guided by two different organic additives, the effect of Na ⁺ cation on morphologies was discussed. Under 980-nm excitation, intense ultraviolet (UV) and blue upconversion (UC) emissions were observed from both of them. The UC luminescence properties of the as-prepared MCs were studied based on changing the Tm ³⁺ ion concentrations. The fluorescent lifetimes of MCs doped with different amount of Tm ³⁺ ions indicate that the obtained NaYbF ₄:Tm ³⁺ MC was an excellent matrix for UV UC emissions.
