Reversible enhanced upconversion luminescence by thermal and electric fields in lanthanide ions doped ferroelectric nanocomposites
Source abstract
Abstract
Luminescence modification of lanthanide ions has attracted great attention due to its applications in sensing, colorful display, information transmission and anti-counterfeiting. Traditional methods of tuning fluorescence typically employ tuning compositions that are not conducive to the development of multi-environment detection and anti-counterfeiting. In this study, lanthanide ions doped ferroelectric nanocomposite was exploited with external stimuli. The upconversion luminescence modification was preformed via both the thermal and electric fields. The anti-thermal quenching phenomenon was observed in the prepared nano-composite, which could effectively enhance the upconversion luminescence of lanthanide ions. Based on the electromechanical softness of the ferroelectric lattice, exceptional luminescence modification was realized through electric polarization. The luminescence modifications by thermal and electric fields exhibited excellent reversibility and non-volatility. These results provide unique insights into the development of integrated stimulus responsive smart devices, colorful display and advanced multi-mode sensing materials.
