Abstract

The calcium fluoride nanoparticles with a variety of doping amounts of erbium ions were prepared by CTAB/C4H9OH/C7H16/H2O reverse micro-emulsion method. The nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), absorption and fluorescence spectra. The XRD patterns indicated a typical cubic fluorite structure and no other impurities. The TEM results showed one kind of particles with uniform grain size and without agglomeration were synthesized. The FTIR spectra revealed that there were some amounts of -OH, NO −3 and organic groups absorbed on the surfaces of the particles before being annealed. The absorption spectra presented many absorption peaks and bands corresponding to the rich energy levels of erbium ion. The Red-Shift of absorption bands and Blue-Shift of fluorescence peak could attribute to the weakened energy level split as a result of the decrease in crystal field strength.
