Abstract
Abstract The glass and glass-ceramics samples with composition of 50SiO2–10AlF3–(30−x)BaF2–5TiO2–3.95LaF3– xMnCO3–0.05ErF3–1YbF3 (in mol%, x=0, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2) were prepared using the conventional quenching techniques. The effects of Mn2+ ions on the enhancement red upconversion emission of Mn2+/Er3+/Yb3+ tri-doped transparent glass-ceramics under the changing of heat treatment temperatures and concentrations of Mn2+ ions were investigated. The structural investigation carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy evidenced the formation of cubic Ba2LaF7 nanocrystals. The efficiency upconversion emission of Mn2+/Er3+/Yb3+ tri-doped was observed in the glass-ceramics. The upconversion mechanism and energy transfer between Mn2+–Yb3+ dimer and Er3+ ions were investigated.
