Abstract
The optical properties of five different nanocrystalline Y2O3:Er3+, Yb3+ samples are presented and discussed. Green and red emission was observed following excitation with 488 nm and attributed to 2H11/2, 4S3/2→4I15/2, and 4F9/2→4I15/2 transitions, respectively. Striking red enhancement was observed in the upconversion spectra when exciting the Y2O3:Er3+, Yb3+ samples with 978 nm, and it became more pronounced with an increase in Yb3+ concentration. A cross relaxation mechanism (4F7/2→4F9/2 and 4F9/2←4I11/2) was responsible for directly populating the 4F9/2 state but did not explain the difference in the magnitude of red enhancement between identically doped bulk and nanocrystalline Y2O3:Er3+, Yb3+ samples. The 4F9/2 level was populated via a nonresonant mechanism that involved the 4F9/2←4I13/2 transition that is more prevalent in the nanocrystals, which is due to the high energy phonons inherent in this type of material. In nanocrystalline Y2O3:Er3+, Yb3+, we observe a change in the upconversion mechanism responsible for populating the 4S3/2 state, from a two-photon to a three-photon process with an increase in Yb3+ concentration. An explanation to account for this behavior is presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
