Abstract

Yb and Er codoped LaF3 nanocrystals were synthesized and studied. The upconversion luminescence properties of nanocrystals capped with different ligands are mainly dependent on the ligands, especially for the red emission which is sensitive to the nonradiative relaxation. The chelation between the ligands and rare earth ions can affect the morphology and fluorescent properties of samples. The chelating ligands will reduce the nonradiative quenching by isolating the RE ions from surrounding environment. So the upconversion luminescence properties of the samples vary correspondingly.
