Hydrothermal Synthesis and Upconversion Properties of About 19 nm Sc2O3: Er3+, Yb3+ Nanoparticles with Detailed Investigation of the Energy Transfer Mechanism

Abstract The Sc2O3: Er3+, Yb3+ nanoparticles (NPs) with the size of about 19 nm were synthesized by a simple oleic acid-mediated hydrothermal (HT) process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectra, and decay curves were used to characte...
