RE掺杂上转换纳米晶复合过程的模拟

Modeling recombination processe in RE doped Up-Conversion nanocrystals

Ziyad Chaker, Artur Podhorodecki

摘要:

上转换纳米晶体(UCNCs)是一类将低能激发转换为高能发射的新型非线性光学材料。合成技术的最新进展使得能够控制尺寸,形状,发射色纯度以及光学调谐[1]。这些UCNCs的特征在于高的表面积与体积比,允许有趣的属性,如水溶性和生物功能性。UCNCs通常由掺杂有Ln^{3+}离子的无机基质组成。已知最有效的基质是用于测试我们的模型的基质,即共掺杂Er^{3+}作为受体/激活剂和Yb^{3 +}作为供体/敏化剂的NaGdF_4纳米晶体。在这项工作中,我们介绍了所需的理论背景,以了解在这些系统中发生的离子-离子相互作用的性质,以及RE离子的4f跃迁特性的细节。在第二章中,我们提出了我们的模型,通过一个系统的速率方程对应于一个自定义的能量图。然后,我们展示了我们的模拟产生适合的时间分辨光致发光(TRPL)数据。最后,我们构建了一个改进的模型,旨在涵盖所有的过程,似乎参与了研究的样品的发光,我们提出了这种方法的成就。

英文摘要:

Up-conversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) are a new class of nonlinear optical materials converting low energy excitation to high energy emission. Recent advances in synthesis techniques enable a control over size, shape, emission color purity as well as optical tuning [1]. Those UCNCs are characterized by high surface to volume ratio allowing interesting attributes such as water solubility and biological functionality. UCNCs usually consist of an inorganic host that is doped with Ln^{3+} ions. The most efficient host matrix known is the one used to test our model, namely, NaGdF_4 nanocrystals co-doped with Er^{3+} as an acceptor/activator and Yb^{3+} as a donor/sensitizer. In this work, we introduce the theoretical background needed to understand the nature of ion-ion interactions occurring in these systems as well as the details of the 4f transitions characteristic of RE-ions. In the second chapter, we present our model through a system of rate equations corresponding to a custom energy diagram. Then, we show our simulations producing fits of Time Resolved Photo Luminescence (TRPL) data. Finally, we construct an improved model aiming to encompass all the processes that seem to be involved in the luminescence of the samples studied and we present the achievements of such approach.
