Abstract

In the present study, we have investigated the properties of yttrium silicate nanopowders undoped and doped with 5% and 10% (per mole) Yb3+. The samples were obtained by the sol-gel method and annealed at 1250 °C for 12 hours. After the annealing process, the nanopowders were structurally characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and is ascertained size was ∼ 80 nm. We have studied the emission from these samples when excited with the light of a near infrared laser diode at 975 nm.
