Er3+ -doped ZnO nanospheres have been synthesized via a sonochemical conversion process. The formation mechanism of these nanocrystals is connected with the sonochemical effect of ultrasound irradiation. The as-prepared Er3+ doped ZnO nanospheres show enhanced photoluminescence and upconversion photoluminescence properties compared with pure ZnO. 1. Introduction researches focused on the formation of films. Some chem- ical doping methods, such as sol-gel [9], colloidal [10], ZnO semiconductors, with a direct wide bandgap of 3.37 eV and hydrothermal processes [11], have also been reported and aesthetic nanoscale morphologies, have been intensively to prepare Er3+ -doped ZnO nanocrystals. However, most studied due to their multif
