Down and upconversion photoluminescence of ZrO2:Er3+ phosphor irradiated with 120 MeV gold ions

Down conversion and upconversion photoluminescence of pristine and gold ion irradiated ZrO _2 :Er ^3+ phosphor synthesized by solution combustion are reported. The crystallinity of the sample as analysed by x-ray diffraction shows a monoclinic phase having a crystallite size of about 57 nm calculate...
