Abstract
The authors report a novel synthetic route for Ho3+/Yb3+ codoped calcium molybdate (CaMoO4) nanoparticles by pulsed laser ablation in ethanol. Well-dispersed Ho3+/Yb3+ codoped CaMoO4 nanocolloid was prepared without any surfactant. Crystallographic information, microstructure, and the upconversion (UC) luminescent properties of the nanocolloid were investigated. Under the excitation at 980 nm, Ho3+/Yb3+ codoped CaMoO4 nanocolloid exhibited strong yellow emission visible to the naked eyes, which is the combination of green emission near 542nm and strong red emission around 656 nm. Based on the pump power dependence, UC mechanism of Ho3+/Yb3+ codoped CaMoO4 nanocolloid was discussed in detail.
