Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Nanomaterials | Volume: | 11 | Número: | 3 | Resumo: | Tetragonal Er0.5Nb0.5O2 and monoclinic ErNbO4 micro- and nanoparticles were prepared by the citrate sol-gel method and heat-treated at temperatures between 700 and 1600 °C. ErNbO4 revealed a spherical-shaped crystallite, whose size increased with heat treatment temperatures. To assess their optical properties at room temperature (RT), a thorough spectroscopic study was conducted. RT photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy revealed that Er3+ optical activation was achieved in all samples. The photoluminescence spectra show the green/yellow 2H11/2, 4S3/2→4I15/2 and red 4F9/2→4I15/2 intraionic transitions as the main visible recombination, with the number of the crystal field splitting Er3+ multiplets reflecting the ion site symmetry in the crystalline phases. PL excitation allows the identification of Er3+ high-energy excited multiplets as the preferential population paths of the emitting levels. Independently of the crystalline structure, the intensity ratio between the green/yellow and red intraionic transitions was found to be strongly sensitive to the excitation energy. After pumping the samples with a resonant excitation into the 4G11/2 excited multiplet, a green/yellow transition stronger than the red one was observed, whereas the reverse occurred for higher excitation photon energies. Thus, a controllable selective excited tunable green to red color was achieved, which endows new opportunities for photonic and optoelectronic applications. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/105288 | ISSN: | 2079-4991 | DOI: | 10.3390/nano11030660 | Direitos: | openAccess |
