Abstract
A series of Sr3NaY(PO4)3F (SNYPF): Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors were synthesized by high temperature solid-phase method. The green and red emission region of SNYPF: Yb3+, Er3+ in the upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectra consist of two distinctly separated peaks under 980 nm laser excitation, which can be assigned to the transition from 2H11/2, 4S3/2 and 4F9/2 to 4I15/2 of Er3+. The SNYPF: Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors possess significant optical temperature sensing feature with the maximum sensitivity value of 0.00312 K−1 (464 K) and 0.00272 K−1 (209 K), as well as 0.00242 K−1 and 0.00244 K−1 at 300 K for green and red emission, respectively. Notably, the intensity of green emission remains almost unchanged with the increasing of temperature, indicating the excellent thermal stability of the phosphors. The above results demonstrate that SNYPF: Yb3+, Er3+ is a potential UC phosphor, which is suitable for optical temperature sensing.
