Abstract: La0.789Yb0.20Ho0.001Tm0.01F3 nanocube was synthesized through a hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, composition and morphology of the sample were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements. At the same time, the up-conversion spectra of the sample were measured using F-4600 fluorescence spectrophotometer with single-wavelength diode laser (980 nm) at room temperature. The results show that emissions of red, green and blue were observed for the synthesized sample. The red, green and blue emissions were attributable to 1G4 → 3F4 (or 5F5 → 5I8), 5F5 → 5I8, and 1G4 → 3H6 transitions, respectively, the combination of which resulted in a white emission. The calculated color coordinates demonstrate that white the light can be achieved in a wide range of pumping powers. The sample obtained in the present work is believed to have potential applications in the field of displays, lasers, photonics, and biomedicine.
