采用改进的坩埚下降法成功生长了Ce 3+/Yb 3+离子双掺杂LiLuF4单晶, Ce 3+的初始离子掺杂浓度为0.1mol%, Yb 3+离子浓度从0变化到2.0mol%。在波长291 nm激发时观察到Yb 3+在1020 nm( 2F5/2→ 2F7/2)附近的强近红外发射以及Ce 3+在300~350 nm(5d→4f)的紫外发射。通过吸收光谱、荧光光谱研究了Yb 3+离子掺杂浓度对Ce 3+/Yb 3+共掺杂LiLuF4单晶光谱性质的影响及Ce 3+到Yb 3+离子的能量转移机理。通过变温光谱的研究发现, 当环境温度从298 K增加到443 K时, 其荧光发射强度不断降低。Ce 3+/Yb 3+共掺杂LiLuF4单晶发光波长主要位于紫外和近红外, 这种独特的发光属性可望用于防伪技术和公共安全事务中。

Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals used as a spectral up-converter to improve the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells are prepared via an improved Bridgman approach. Green and red up-conversion (UC) emissions under the excitation of near-infrared (NIR) bands of 900–1000 nm and 1400–1600 nm can be observed. The effectiveness of the prepared materials as a spectral converter is verified by the enhancement of power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells. The sample with a UC layer is 15.5% more efficient in converting sunlight to electricity compared to the UC layer-free sample due to the absorption of sunlight in the NIR range. The results suggest the synthesized Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals are suitable for enhancing the performance of perovskite solar cells.

A 0.1 mol.% CoF2-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystal with high quality in the size of ～ 10 mm×100 mm was grown by the Bridgman method. Three peaks located at 504, 544, and 688 nm and a broad band in the range of 1200–1600 nm centered at 1472 nm were observed in the absorption spectra. The absorption peak position suggests cobalt ions in the divalent state in the grown crystal. Moreover, the cobalt ions are confirmed to locate in the distorted cubic crystal structure. Upon excitation of 500 nm light, a sharp emission peak at 747 nm ascribed to the T22(H1)→4A2(F) transition was observed for the crystal. The Co2+-doped Na5Lu9F32 crystal shows a potentially promising material for the application of a passively Q-switched laser operating in the near-infrared range.
