Highly efficient up-conversion luminescence in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals by vertical Bridgman method

Abstract Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals with different concentrations of Yb3+ ions were prepared to investigate their phase structure, up-conversion (UC) properties and mechanism of UC luminescence by Bridgman method. Under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation, three sharp UC emission...
