ABSTRACT
Yb3+ /Tm3+ -codoped NaYF4 nanocrystals with different phases (cubicâ
α and hexagonalâ
ß) and morphologies (nanoparticles, nanorods, nanoplates) have been controllably fabricated by a convenient hydrothermal synthesis technique. Up-conversion emission peaks were observed at λ=450, 475, 645, and 700â
nm, which were assigned to the 1 D2 -3 F4 , 1 G4 -3 H6 , 1 G4 -3 F4 , and 3 F2 -3 H6 transitions of Tm3+ ions, respectively. By using a homemade detection system, the anisotropic polarized emission properties of individual NaYF4Yb, Tm nanorods and nanoplates were investigated. The results indicated that the polarization emission ratio, ρ, of the 1 G4 -3 F4 emission of individual NaYF4Yb,Tm nanorods was 0.18, whereas the anisotropic polarization emission of individual NaYF4Yb,Tm nanoplates could be neglected; this indicated that the size and morphology of the nanocrystal played an important role in the polarized emission properties. Investigation into the mechanism indicated that the dielectric mismatch was not the predominant mechanism for the polarized emission of individual NaYF4Yb,Tm nanorods. The as-prepared NaYF4Yb,Tm nanocrystals, with controllable morphology and anisotropic polarized emission properties, are expected to be widely applied as polarized light resources, bio-labels, photodetectors, and so forth.
