Anomalous NIR Luminescence in Mn2+‐Doped Fluoride Perovskite Nanocrystals

Abstract: An anomalous near‐infrared (NIR) upconversion (UC) emission band at approximately 770 nm is demonstrated in KZnF3:Yb3+,Mn2+ nanocrystals with heavy Mn2+ doping. This band would enable advanced biological imaging with improved resolution and enhanced penetration depth. Careful studies based on structure analysis, excitation and emission spectra, and luminescence decay curves indicate that this unusual NIR emission (770 nm) originates from the 6A1g(S)4T1g(G)→6A1g(S)6A1g(S) transitions of the Mn2+–Mn2+ dimers.

“…6a, while those samples ( x  = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) exhibit no apparent UC emissions. Since there is a large gap between the first excited state of 4 T 1 and ground state of 6 A 1 for Mn 2+ (normally > 17,000 cm −1 ) and there is no metastable excited state above 10,000 cm −1 for Yb 3+ ion2627282930, it normally requires the vicinity of Mn 2+ -Yb 3+ ions in the lattice for super exchange-interaction or cooperative sensitization based UC process. Therefore, when Mn 2+ content is high enough ( x  ≥ 0.8), the Mn 2+ ions tend to show up at the neighbor of Yb 3+ ions.…”

“…The emission color of Mn 2+ can be tuned from green to deep red2425, depending on its coordinated chemical environment. It is recently reported by our group that two emission peaks at ~585 nm (visible) and ~770 nm (near infrared) in Mn 2+ doped perovskite fluorides26, which are ascribed to the emission of isolated Mn 2+ and the antiferromagnetic coupling within Mn 2+ -Mn 2+ dimers, respectively. The latter could be controlled by concentration of Mn 2+ dopant (i.e.…”

“…Great attention have been paid for UC luminescent materials due to their potential applications in various areas such as color displays, medical, biological labels, anti-counterfeiting, solar cells and so on [2][3][4][5] . 11,12 Besides the Mn 2+ , Cr 3+ is another known NIR emitting TM ion and Yb 3+ -Cr 3+ is a potential efficient NIR UC system. [6][7][8] Tm 3+ is the most commonly used NIR emitting ion in the Yb 3+ codoped UC materials.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] With the development of manufacturing technology for nanometer materials, UCL labelling has gathered great attention. [8][9][10][11] The study on UCL was derived from the detection of IR light; however, it has a great number of potential applications in the elds of solid-state lasers, 3D displays, IR quantum counters, optical probes in uorescent imaging techniques, anti-counterfeiting, NIR photocatalysis, and temperature sensors. 6,7,9,10,[12][13][14][15] Most of UC materials are rareearth doped solid compounds; in which, a lanthanide ion absorbs more than one photon with lower energy and converts them to one photon with higher energy by using its metastable energy levels.…”
