Yb3+, Er3+, and Tm3+-codoped Gd2O3 nanotubes were synthesized via a simple wet-chemical route at low temperature and ambient pressure followed by a subsequent heat treatment at 800 °C. X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), upconversion (UC) emission spectra, and kinetic decay were used to characterize the samples. Bright white UC luminescence in the nanotubes was observed under diode laser excitation of 980 nm. The white light consists of the blue (1G4 → 3H6 of Tm3+), green (2H11/2/4S3/2 → 4I15/2 of Er3+), and red (4F9/2 → 4I15/2 of Er3+) UC emissions. As the excitation power density changed in the range of 20–200 W cm−2, the calculated CIE color coordinates shift only slightly and fall well within the white region. This material may be a potential candidate for applications of color displays, lighting and photonics.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
