Abstract

The effects of crystal size and crystal phase on the upconverted emission of Er3+ in ZrO2 oxide nanocrystals are reported. Green (550 nm) and red (670 nm) upconversion emission were observed at room temperature from the 4S3/2 and 4F9/2 levels of Er3+:ZrO2 nanocrystals. It is found that at 850 mW of cw excitation power, the total luminescence was 11960 Cd/m2 for 1000 °C heated sample. We observed that the overall upconversion luminescence intensity depends on crystal structure and particle size. We have also confirmed that upconversion process in all these samples results from a two-photon excited-state absorption process.
