Simultaneous size and luminescence control of KZnF3:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles by incorporation of Mn2+

Efficient emission in copper-doped Cs3ZnX5 (X = Cl, I) for white LEDs and X-ray scintillators

“…26 Transition metal Mn 2+ doping can simultaneously adjust the size and color of KZnF 3 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals. 27 By controlling the ratios of Mn 2+ and Yb 3+ ions, the emitted green and red lights could be modulated. For Cs 3 ZnCl 5 , there are also related research reports.…”

Synthesis of KZnF\(_{3}\) Phosphors by Co-Precipitation Method

“…KZnF 3 :Tl + is of interest as a promising material for tunable lasers in the UV region [1] and scintillator [2] while KZnF 3 :Co 2+ serves similar purpose in mid infrared region [7,23,33]. Upconversion involving various ion pairs such as Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ [43], Yb 3+ -Er 3+ [22,44], Yb 3+ -Tm 3+ [41], Yb 3+ -Ho 3+ [6], KZnF 3 shows intrinsic luminescence [42] though it does not show any cross-luminescence [10]. KZnF 3 is of importance in geophysical studies also, being an analogue of MgSiO 3 in the lower mantle of earth [24,32].…”
