Abstract

The effect of an external magnetic field $(0 - 1 T)$ on the upconversion emission $(λ_{exc} = 976 nm)$ of ${Gd}_{2} O_{3} : {Er}^{3 +} ∕ {Yb}^{3 +}$ nanocrystalline phosphor has been studied. Optical bistability (hysteresis behavior in the intensity of the optical emission) for different transitions of the ${Er}^{3 +}$ ion has been observed for a complete cycle of the magnetic field between 0 and $1 T$ . The phosphor shows paramagnetic behavior, consistent with the presence of ${Gd}^{3 +}$ ions, at room temperature. Interaction between induced magnetization in the ${Gd}_{2} O_{3}$ host and the intrinsic magnetic moment of the nanosized clusters of ${Er}^{3 +}$ and ${Yb}^{3 +}$ ion pairs is proposed to be responsible for the hysteresis behavior.
