Abstract
The effect of glass network modifier R2O (R=Li, Na, K) on upconversion luminescence in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped NaYF4 oxyfluoride glass-ceramics was investigated. NaYF4 nanocrystals with different sizes were studied under glass network modifier alkali mental oxide. The nanocrystals size in NaYF4 of Li2O modified samples was 11 nm, whereas in the Na2O and K2O modified sample, the crystal size was 25 and 43 nm, respectively. It was found that red, yellow and green upconversions were observed in SAL, SAN, SAK glass ceramics. The reported results would deepen the understanding of size effects on the lanthanide upconversion in nanocrystals.
