Abstract

Lanthanide-based luminescent materials have shown great capabilities in addressing scientific problems encountered in diverse fields. However, achieving full-color switchable output under single-wavelength irradiation has remained a daunting challenge. Here we report a conceptual model to realize this aim by the temporal control of full upconversion evolution in a multi-layer core-shell nanostructure upon a single commercial 980-nm laser, instead of two or more excitation wavelengths as reported previously. We show that it is able to realize the red-to-green color change (from Er3+) under non-steady state excitation by constructing the cooperative modulation effect in the Er-Tm-Yb triple system, and single out…
