Abstract

Abstract Photoluminescent properties of nanocrystalline powders of the LiLa(PO 3 ) 4 system co-doped with Pr 3+ /Yb 3+ or Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ ions were reported. The powders were synthesized by precipitation method and annealed at 450 °C. Two series of the samples were prepared with 1 mol% of praseodymium or thulium ions and with various ytterbium content (from 2% up to 16%). Both the up- and downconversion energy transfers were studied, in particular, the spectra and kinetics of photoluminescence under blue (into Pr 3+ or Tm 3+ ions, respectively) and NIR (into Yb 3+ ions) excitations. The possible mechanisms of energy migration were discussed. Higher ytterbium concentration resulted in higher energy transfer efficiencies for both tetraphosphate systems.
