ABSTRACT
Tb3+–Yb3+ co-doped NaY(WO4)2 phosphors with intense near-infrared emission and broad band near-ultraviolet absorption were synthesized by a traditional high-temperature solid-state method. The luminescence spectra and fluorescence decays of visible and near-infrared emissions were measured to investigate the luminescence mechanisms. It was found that the energy transfer from Tb3+ to Yb3+ cannot result in the quantum-cutting emission but downshifting emission. The luminescence mechanism of the singlet and triplet states (WO4)2− sensitizing Yb3+ were explored and ascribed to quantum-cutting. A two-photon process for the green upconversion emission was verified by analyzing the dependence of the upconversion emission intensity on 980 nm laser operating current. On the analyses of the temperature-dependent emission spectra and temperature-dependent fluorescence decay curves, it was revealed that the luminescence thermal quenching of Tb3+ in NaY(WO4)2: Tb3+/Yb3+ phosphor is attributed to crossover process within the temperature range of 303–483 K and can be ascribed to both crossover and nonradiative relaxation processes when the temperature is higher than 513 K.
