Upconversion luminescence of Eu3+ and Mn2+ in ZnS : Mn2+, Eu3+ codoped nanoparticles
Author
Summary, in English
Strong upconversion luminescence of both Mn2+ and Eu3+ is observed in ZnS:Mn2+, Eu3+ codoped nanoparticles. Laser power dependencies and spectroscopic data show that the upconversion emission is due to two-photon excitation of each specific dopant ion. The relative differences in two-photon excitation cross section result in different relative intensities for the Eu3+ and Mn2+ upconversion at different wavelengths. Spectroscopic data and luminescence lifetime data indicate no evidence of energy transfer between the Mn2+ and Eu3+ ions. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
