Abstract

We report efficient white upconversion luminescence in Yb³⁺-, Er³⁺- and Tm³⁺-doped monophasic and biphasic Y₂BaZnO₅ phosphors under 977 nm near-infrared excitation and at low excitation power densities (down to ∼25 mW mm⁻²).

This article is part of the themed collection: In celebration of Tony Cheetham’s 70th birthday
