摘　　要：稀土掺杂上转换发光材料的发光特性不仅依赖于基质材料本身,而且与其激发条件密切相关.本文主要是以Ho^3+离子为研究对象,在NaYF4和LiYF4这两种不同的基质中,研究其在不同激发条件下的上转换发光特性.通过共聚焦显微光谱测试系统,对比Ho^3+离子在NaYF4和LiYF4微米晶体中的发光特性.实验结果发现:Ho^3+离子在这两种不同基质中均展现出较强的荧光发射.然而,当激发功率增加时,在单颗粒个LiYF4微米晶体中,当激发功率增加时,Ho^3+离子则发射出较强绿光及微弱的红光,红绿比变化并不明显,其蓝光发射强度也相对较弱.当激发这两种微米粉末晶体时,结果发现:Ho^3+离子均发射较强的绿光发射并伴有微弱红光发射,两种晶体中的发射特性极其相似.由此可见,在常规测试条件下,一些特殊发光现象是很难被观测到的.同时,通过对其光谱特性的分析,对Ho^3+离子的发光机理进行了研究.The upconversion(UC)emission properties of rare-earth ions are not only dependent on the host materials,but also relate to the excitation conditions.In this work,taking the Ho3+ions for example,upconversion emission properties are studied in two NaYF4 and LiYF4 fluoride microcrystals through changing excitation conditions,namely the excitation power and the sample environment.The NaYF4:20%Yb^3+/2%Ho^3+and NaYF4:20%Yb^3+/2%Ho^3+microcrystal are synthesized by the hydrothermal method.The typical X-ray diffraction patterns of NaYF4:20%Yb^3+/2%Ho^3+and LiYF4:20%Yb^3+/2%Ho^3+microcrystal indicate that the prepared samples possess pure hexagonal phase NaYF4 structure and the pure tetragonal phase LiYF4 structure with high crystallinity,respectively.Most of NaYF4:20%Yb^3+/2%Ho^3+microcrystals show uniform and regular rod shape with diameter and length of approximately 3 m and 10 m,respectively.Few rods with a length of approximately 5 m are also observed.The LiYF4:20%Yb^3+/2%Ho^3+microcrystals are all octahedral in shape with a smooth surface,the average size is around 10 m.The spectral peculiarities of Ho^3+are investigated by using confocal microscopy equipment under near infrared 980 nm excitation.Beautiful patterns with different upconversion emissions of Ho^3+are discovered in single NaYF4 and LiYF4 microcrystal.As the excitation power increases,the upconversion emission of Ho3+turns from green to pink in single NaYF4 microrods due to the cross-relaxation between Ho3+and the energy back transfer from Ho^3+to Yb^3+.However,in single LiYF4:Ho^3+microcrystal no similar phenomenon is observed.Nevertheless,when the powder of NaYF4 and LiYF4 microcrystals are excited by a 980 nm laser,increasing the power can turn the output colours of Ho^3+all green.Because particles outside the laser radiation are not directly covered by the laser,most of them are excited by the scattered light from the laser,and the actual excitation energy is low compared with at the center position.This result can be proved in the single NaYF4 and L
