Manganese materials with attractive optical properties have been proposed for applications in such areas as photonics, light-emitting diodes, and bioimaging. In this paper, we have demonstrated multicolor Mn2+ luminescence in the visible region by controlling Ce3+-Mn2+ energy transfer in rare earth nanocrystals [NCs]. CeF3 and CePO4 NCs doped with Mn2+ have been prepared and can be well dispersed in aqueous solutions. Under ultraviolet light excitation, both the CeF3:Mn and CePO4:Mn NCs exhibit Mn2+ luminescence, yet their output colors are green and orange, respectively. By optimizing Mn2+ doping concentrations, Mn2+ luminescence quantum efficiency and Ce3+-Mn2+ energy transfer efficiency can respectively reach 14% and 60% in the CeF3:Mn NCs.
具有引人注目的光学特性的锰材料已被提议用于光子学、发光二极管和生物成像等领域。在本文中,我们通过控制稀土纳米晶体(NCs)中的Ce3+-Mn2+能量转移,在可见光区域展示了多色Mn2+发光。已经制备了掺杂Mn2+的CeF3和CePO4纳米晶体,并且它们可以很好地分散在水溶液中。在紫外光激发下,CeF3:Mn和CePO4:Mn纳米晶体都表现出Mn2+发光,但其输出颜色分别为绿色和橙色。通过优化Mn2+掺杂浓度,CeF3:Mn纳米晶体中的Mn2+发光量子效率和Ce3+-Mn2+能量转移效率分别可以达到14%和60%。
