Abstract

La2O3:Yb, Er powder was prepared using coprecipitation and La2O2S:Yb, Er obtained by flux fusion method. Its crystalline structure and morphology were characterized by XRD and SEM, respectively, and its up-conversion emission property was tested by fluorescence spectrometer. The results showed when the co-precipitation temperature was 40°C, oxalic acid 5% excess, oxalic acid concentration 2.34%, pH value 5.53-6.45 and calcining temperature of La2O3 800°C, the idealized La2O3:Yb, Er could be prepared. Moreover, the optimal calcining temperature of La2O2S was 1250°C for 3 h. The morphology of the particles was irregular. Their average size was about 1 μm. Green and red emission bands were observed when the powder was excited by 980 nm laser.
