Tiivistelmä
We report up-converting (Yb,Er)(2)O-3 thin films grown with the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The films are crystalline and show a homogeneous morphology with a roughness less than 1 nm for 40 nm thick films. High-intensity near-infrared (NIR) to green and red two-photon up-conversion emission is obtained with 974 nm excitation through an absorption by Yb3+, followed by a Yb3+-Er3+ energy transfer and emission from Er3+. The ALD technique promises to be excellent for producing up-converting films for many applications such as near-infrared radiation absorbing layers for solar cells and sensors in point-of-care biomedical diagnostics.[GRAPHICS]Schematic picture of the ALD-grown (Yb,Er)(2)O-3 thin film including the up-conversion emission spectra.
