摘要
采用两步高温热分解法合成了纳米异质结构的Na YF4∶Yb3+,Tm3+/Cd Se。X射线衍射测试结果表明样品由纯六角相的Na YF4(β-Na YF4)和纤锌矿型Cd Se组成。980 nm激发的上转换光谱表明Na YF4∶Yb3+,Tm3+和Cd Se之间存在能量传递,Tm3+将Yb3+传递给它的能量部分地传递给Cd Se,被激发的Cd Se又将能量回传给Tm3+的相应能级,最终使得Na YF4∶Yb3+,Tm3+的紫外和蓝光发射完全消失,而797 nm的近红外发射大幅增强。Na YF4∶Yb3+,Tm3+/Cd Se纳米异质结构的激发光和发射光均处于生物组织的光学透过窗口(700~1 100 nm),对生物组织的光损伤小,在生物医学领域有很大的应用潜力。
NaYF4∶Yb^3+,Tm^3+/CdSe nanoheterostructures with NIR-to-NIR upconversion luminescence were synthesized by a two-step improved wet-chemical method. X-ray diffraction( XRD) characterization shows that the nanoheterostructures are composed of both pure hexagonal phase Na YF4∶ Yb3 +,Tm3 +and wurtzite phase Cd Se. Upconversion emission spectra under the excitation of 980 nm near-infrared laser show that 797 nm emission from Tm3 +ions has been enhanced greatly,while neither ultraviolet nor blue emissions of Tm3 +appear compared with that of pure Na YF4∶ Yb3 +,Tm3 +. It indicates that the energy transfer occurs between Na YF4∶ Yb3 +,Tm3 +and Cd Se. Under 980 nm excitation,the energy absorbed by Yb3 +ions transfers to Tm3 +ions,then transfers to Cd Se partially,and finally the excited Cd Se returns the energy back to the corresponding energy levels of Tm3 +. These processes lead to the quenching of UV and blue emissions and the enhancement of 797 nm emission of Tm3 +ions in the NaYF4∶Yb^3+,Tm^3+/CdSe nanoheterostructures. The excitation( 980 nm) and emission( 797 nm) are both located in the NIR spectral range( 700- 1 100 nm) that is referred as the "optical window"of biological tissues because of the minimum of light scattering and autofluorescence of tissue and a relatively large penetration depth. Therefore,the present NaYF4∶Yb^3+,Tm^3+/CdSe nanoheterostructures could have potential applications in biology and biomedicine fields.
