Abstract
Oxyfluoride transparent glass-ceramics (GC) are widely used as the matrix for rare-earth (RE) ions due to their unique properties such as low phonon energy, high transmittance, and high solubility for RE ions. Tb3+ doped oxyfluoride glasses exhibit a large absorption cross section for ultraviolet (UV) excitation, high stability, high photoluminescence quantum efficiency, and sensitive spectral conversion characteristics, making them promising candidate materials for use as the spectral converter in UV photodetectors. Herein, a Tb3+ doped oxyfluoride GC is developed by using the melt-quenching method, and the microstructure and optical properties of the GC sample are carefully investigated. By combining with a Si-based photo-resistor,a solar-blind UV detector is fabricated, which exhibits a significant photoelectric response with a broad detection range from 188 to 400 nm. The results indicate that the designed UV photodetector is of great significance for the development of solar-blind UV detectors.

Abstract
The piling up of low-energy photons to produce light beams of higher energies while exploiting the nonlinear optical response of matter was conceived theoretically around 1930 and demonstrated 30 years later with the help of the first coherent ruby lasers. The vanishingly small efficacy of the associated light-upconversion process was rapidly overcome by the implementation of powerful successive absorptions of two photons using linear optics in materials that possess real intermediate excited states working as relays. In these systems, the key point requires a favorable competition between the rate constant of the excited-state absorption (ESA) and the relaxation rate of the intermediate excited state, the lifetime of which should be thus maximized. Chemists and physicists therefore selected long-lived intermediate excited states found (i) in trivalent lanthanide cations doped into ionic solids or into nanoparticles (2S+1LJ spectroscopic levels) or (ii) in polyaromatic molecules (triplet states) as the logical activators for designing light upconverters using linear optics. Their global efficiency has been stepwise optimized during the past five decades by using indirect intermolecular sensitization mechanisms (energy transfer upconversion = ETU) combined with large absorption cross sections.The induction of light-upconversion operating in a single discrete entity at the molecular level is limited to metal-based units and remained a challenge for a long time because coordination complexes possess high-frequency oscillators incompatible with the existence of (i) scales of accessible excited relays with long lifetimes and (ii) final high-energy emissive levels with noticeable intrinsic quantum yields. In contrast to intermolecular energy transfer processes operating in metal-based doped solids, which require statistical models, the combination of sensitizers and activators within the same molecule limits energy transfers to easily tunable intramolecular processes with first-order kinetic rate constants. Their successful programming in a trinuclear CrErCr complex in 2011 led to the first detectable near-infrared to green light upconversion induced in a molecular unit under reasonable excitation intensity. The subsequent progress in the modeling and understanding of the key factors controlling metal-based light upconversion operating in molecular complexes led to a burst of various designs exploiting different mechanisms, excited-state absorption (ESA), energy transfer upconversion (ETU), cooperative luminescence (CL), and cooperative upconversion (CU), which are discussed in this Account.

CONDENSED MATTER : AN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS JOURNAL 2021; 33:483001.

Abstract
Nowadays, solid-state white light-emitting diodes (wLEDs) have attracted remarkable attention for applications in general lighting, displays and numerous electronical devices due to their eminent efficiency, longer lifetime and higher mechanical durability compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent lights. In current commercial wLEDs, a combination of Y3Al5O12:Ce3+yellow phosphor with blue LED chip and epoxy resin is generally used to generate white light. However, there are some considerable frailties mostly originated from phosphor and resin such as, degradation upon heat, and moisture, inhomogeneous spectral distribution, and poor color rendering capability. Therefore, phosphor embedded glass-ceramics have been developed as a promising way to obtain durable solid-state lighting devices. However, in these methods, there is a greater risk of reactions between the phosphor material and the glass host. At this point, lanthanide-doped luminescent glasses have drawn great attention as a new generation phosphor and/or epoxy free white-light-emitting source owing to their favorable properties including high thermal and chemical stability, high transparency, and easy manufacturing process. This review article aims to comprehensively summarize the recent progress in singly (i.e., Dy3+, Eu2+), doubly (i.e., Dy3+/Eu3+, Dy3+/Tm3+, Dy3+/Ce3+, Ce3+/Sm3+, Ce3+/Tb3+) and triply (i.e., Ce3+/Tb3+/Mn2+, Eu3+/Tb3+/Tm3+, Ce3+/Tb3+/Eu3+, Tm3+/Tb3+/Sm3+, Ce3+/Dy3+/Eu3+, Ho3+/Tm3+/Yb3+, Er3+/Tm3+/Yb3+) lanthanide-doped glasses for solid-state lighting applications through down-shifting and up-conversion emissions. Theoretical background including energy transfer mechanisms, glass synthesis methods, radiative and colorimetric properties are given in details. Finally, various effective strategies are highlighted that minimize the critical challenges associated with lanthanides-such as providing energy transfer from quantum dots or nanoparticles to lanthanides, and doping lanthanides in low phonon energy glass-to improve the white light emission of luminescent glasses and broaden their application areas.

Abstract
Upconversion photoluminescence in hetero-oligonuclear metal complex architectures featuring organic ligands is an interesting but still rarely observed phenomenon, despite its great potential from a basic research and application perspective. In this context, a new photonic material consisting of molecular chromium(III) and ytterbium(III) complex ions was developed that exhibits excitation-power density-dependent cooperative sensitization of the chromium-centered 2 E/2 T1 phosphorescence at approximately 775 nm after excitation of the ytterbium band 2 F7/2 →2 F5/2 at approximately 980 nm in the solid state at ambient temperature. The upconversion process is insensitive to atmospheric oxygen and can be observed in the presence of water molecules in the crystal lattice.

Abstract
Converting low-energy photons via thermal radiation can be a potential approach for utilizing infrared (IR) photons to improve photovoltaic efficiency. Lanthanide-containing materials have achieved great progress in IR-to-visible photon upconversion (UC). Herein, we first report bright photon, tunable wavelength UC through localized thermal radiation at the molecular scale with low excitation power density (<10 W/cm2) realized on lanthanide complexes of perfluorinated organic ligands. This is enabled by engineering the pathways of nonradiative de-excitation and energy transfer in a composite of ytterbium and terbium perfluoroimidodiphosphinates. The IR-excited thermal UC and wavelength control is realized through the terbium activators sensitized by the ytterbium sensitizers having high luminescence efficiency. The metallic molecular composite thus can be a potential energy material in the use of the IR solar spectrum for thermal photovoltaic applications.

Abstract
Metal loading of multi-terdentate receptors with [Eu(pbta)3] provides the first anti-cooperative factors large enough for programming metal alternation in lanthanidopolymers at room temperature.
Metal-containing (bio)organic polymers are materials of continuously increasing importance for applications in energy storage and conversion, drug delivery, shape-memory items, supported catalysts, organic conductors and smart photonic devices. The embodiment of luminescent components provides a revolution in lighting and signaling with the ever-increasing development of polymeric light-emitting devices. Despite the unique properties expected from the introduction of optically and magnetically active lanthanides into organic polymers, the deficient control of the metal loading currently limits their design to empirical and poorly reproducible materials. We show here that the synthetic efforts required for producing soluble multi-site host systems Lk are largely overcome by the virtue of reversible thermodynamics for mastering the metal loading with the help of only two parameters: (1) the affinity of the luminescent lanthanide container for a single binding site and (2) the cooperative effect which modulates the successive fixation of metallic units to adjacent sites. When unsymmetrical perfluorobenzene-trifluoroacetylacetonate co-ligands (pbta–) are selected for balancing the charge of the trivalent lanthanide cations, Ln3+, in six-coordinate [Ln(pbta)3] containers, the explored anti-cooperative complexation processes induce nearest-neighbor intermetallic interactions twice as large as thermal energy at room temperature (RT = 2.5 kJ mol–1). These values have no precedent when using standard symmetrical containers and they pave the way for programming metal alternation in luminescent lanthanidopolymers.

Sensitization, energy transfer and infra-red emission decay modulation in Yb 3+-doped NaYF 4 nanoparticles with visible light through a perfluoroanthraquinone chromophore. Sci Rep 2017; 7:5066. [PMID: 28698586 PMCID: PMC5505979 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-05350-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2017] [Accepted: 05/26/2017] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Infra-red emission (980 nm) of sub 10 nm Yb3+-doped NaYF4 nanoparticles has been sensitized through the excitation of 2-hydroxyperfluoroanthraquinone chromophore (1,2,3,4,5,6,7-heptafluro-8-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione) functionalizing the nanoparticle surface. The sensitization is achieved with a broad range of visible light excitation (400-600 nm). The overall near infra-red (NIR) emission intensity of Yb3+ ions is increased by a factor 300 as a result of the broad and strong absorption of the chromophore compared with ytterbium's intrinsic absorption. Besides the Yb3+ NIR emission, the hybrid composite shows organic chromophore-based visible emission in the orange-red region of the spectrum. We observe the energy migration process from the sensitized Yb3+ ions at the surface to those in the core of the particle using time-resolved optical spectroscopy. This highlights that the local environments for emitting Yb3+ ions at the surface and center of the nanoparticle are not identical, which causes important differences in the NIR emission dynamics. Based on the understanding of these processes, we suggest a simple strategy to control and modulate the decay time of the functionalized Yb3+-doped nanoparticles over a relatively large range by changing physical or chemical parameters in this model system.

Abstract
The indirect bandgap of single-crystalline silicon has so far precluded the full integration of silicon microelectronics with photonics-which is expected to allow the realization of low-cost, high-speed optical information processing and communication in the future. Here we report the growth of europium (Eu)-doped Si-SiO2 core-shell nanowires by an oxide-assisted chemical vapor deposition method. The Eu concentration in these nanowires is effectively improved by intentionally increasing the thickness of SiO2 shells. As a result, a strong Si-compatible red emission from Eu(3+) ions was observed under laser illumination. The effect of Eu(3+) concentration on the emission efficiency was comprehensively studied, with the highest efficiency at Eu content about 0.8 at%. The relaxation mechanism of this concentration dependent luminescence was further explored through lifetime measurements. In light of the strong characteristic red emission and nanoscale footprint, these nanowires are promising Si-compatible light emission materials for future integrated nanophotonics.

Abstract
Considered at the beginning of the 21th century as being incompatible with the presence of closely bound high-energy oscillators, lanthanide-centered superexcitation, which is the raising of an already excited electron to an even higher level by excited-state energy absorption, is therefore a very active topic strictly limited to the statistical doping of low-phonon bulk solids and nanoparticles. We show here that molecular lanthanide-containing coordination complexes may be judiciously tuned to overcome these limitations and to induce near-infrared (NIR)-to-visible (VIS)-light upconversion via the successive absorption of two low-energy photons using linear-optical responses. Whereas single-ion-centered excited-state absorption mechanisms remain difficult to implement in lanthanide complexes, the skillful design of intramolecular intermetallic energy-transfer processes operating in multimetallic architectures is at the origin of the recent programming of erbium-centered molecular upconversion.

Abstract
Up-conversion (Gd,Yb,Tb)PO(4) materials and their potential for bimodal imaging have received little attention in the literature. Herein, we report the first study on the up-conversion emission of (Gd,Yb,Tb)PO(4) nanocrystals synthesized via a hydrothermal method at 150 °C. These materials exhibit ultraviolet, blue and green up-conversion emissions upon excitation with a 980 nm continuous wave laser diode. The intensity of the blue-emission band at 479 nm, ascribed to the cooperative up-conversion emission of a pair of excited Yb(3+) ions, depends on the Yb(3+)/Tb(3+) concentration ratio, calcination temperature and particle size. Strong green up-conversion emission of Tb(3+) is observed at 543 nm for the (5)D(4)→(7)F(5) transition. Relaxometry measurements reveal that the nanocrystals are efficient T(2)-weighted (negative) contrast agents which, combined with visible-light emission generated by infrared excitation, affords them considerable potential for being used in bimodal, photoluminescence-magnetic resonance, imaging.

Abstract
A quantum cutting mechanism for the sublinear near-IR power dependence property in Tb3+-Yb3+ codoped NaYF4 powders were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The slopes of Yb3+ luminescence intensity versus excitation power were fitted to be between 0.5 and 1. We have developed a quantum cutting rate equation model to explain the anomalous sublinear phenomenon and an assessment factor was introduced to help understand the physical mechanism. Experimental results showed that the linear downconversion process combined with second-order nonlinear process induced the sublinear power dependence property with the latter to be the dominant process.
