This study successfully synthesized a heavily Yb3+ doped langbeinite-type Rb2Ti0.80Yb1.20(PO4)(3) (RTYP) single crystal, demonstrating efficient dual-color upconversion luminescence under 980 nm excitation. The X-ray structural analyses revealed the high thermal stability of the crystal and the dual-color emission mechanism mainly related to Yb3+ ions and crystal defects.
Inorganic upconversion materials show significant importance in both basic research and applied area, and searching for suitable host material and understanding of fundamental photophysical process are particularly worth studying in upconversion application. Herein, a heavily Yb3+ tsubstituted langbeinite-type Rb2Ti0.80Yb1.20(PO4)(3) (RTYP) millimeter-sized single crystal, which has been successfully grown by high temperature solution method, exhibits efficient dual-color upconversion photoluminescence under 980 nm excitation. The lifetimes of two-photon blue emission and one-photon red emission are 4.1 mu s and 17.1 mu s, respectively. X-ray structural analyses reveal that the dual-color emissions are ascribed to disordered Yb3+ Ti4+ pairs and crystal defect, and the higher intensity of red emission is attributed to Yb3+-defect energy transfer activated by Ti4+. Notably, the blue emission originates from cooperative luminescence of Yb3+ dimer, and the red emission originates dominantly from the cooperative sensitization of the intrinsic defect caused by excited Yb3+ dimer. Moreover, RTYP with disordered structure shows high thermal stability up to 1,150 degrees C. This work not only demonstrates the promising potential of langbeinite-type materials in multicolor upconversion application, but also sheds light on the photophysical process associated with disordered crystal structure.
