This invention provides a rare-earth
ion-based superfluorescent material, its preparation method, and its applications, belonging to the field of luminescent materials technology. The superfluorescent material includes a matrix material and rare-earth ions doped therein. The matrix material is a composite
fluoride or
fluorine oxide, and the rare-earth ions include sensitizing ions and activating ions, which form an
energy transfer pair. The superfluorescent material has a core-shell structure, and the general
chemical formula of the matrix material is AxByFz or AxByOaFb. The method includes: preparing a precursor solution C containing rare-earth ions and elements A and B; preparing a precursor solution D containing only elements A and B; thermally decomposing solution C with a high-temperature
solvent to obtain nanocrystalline nuclei; and forming a shell layer on the outer surface of the nanocrystalline nuclei with solution D. The superfluorescent material prepared by this invention possesses high strength, high stability, and excellent coherent
luminescence properties, and can be used in luminescent devices,
laser devices, bioimaging reagents, or anti-counterfeiting materials.
