Tm 3+ /Er 3+ /Yb 3+ tri-doped CaF 2 phosphors were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and up-conversion (UC) emission spectra. After annealing, the phosphors emitted white light u

β¦ Synopsis
Anatase TiO 2 nanobelts doped with rare earth (RE) ions Yb 3 + , Er 3 + or Yb 3 + /Er 3 + have been prepared using layered titanate nanobelts (LTO NBs) with RE ions as the precursor obtained by ion-exchange between LTO NBs and RE ions under hydrothermal process. Various measurement results demonstrate that the RE ions have doped into the lattice of TiO 2 , and the Er 3 + or Yb 3 + /Er 3 + doped nanobelts show strong visible up-conversion (UC) fluorescence under 980 nm excitation. The UC emission intensity of LTO NBs embedded with Er 3 + or Yb 3 + /Er 3 + is slightly higher than that of the corresponding TiO 2 nanobelts doped with RE ions, whereas higher RE doping content leads to the decrease of UC emission intensity due to the concentration-quenching effect.
