Bright white upconversion luminescence in β-NaGd 0.794Yb0.20Ho0.001Tm0.005F 4 nanoparticles

β-NaGd0.794Yb0.20Ho0.001Tm 0.005F4 nanoparticles were synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method. The nanoparticles crystallized well and exhibited nearly hexagonal morphology and ellipsoidal spheres, as characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The β-NaGd 0.794Yb0.20Ho0.001Tm0.005F 4 nanoparticles have an average size of about 23 nm.

Hydrothermal synthesis of rare-earth fluoride nanocrystals

In this paper, a hydrothermal synthetic route has been developed to prepare a class of rare-earth fluoride nanocrystals, which have shown gradual changes in growth modes with decreasing ionic radii and may serve as a model system for studying the underlying principle in the controlled growth of rare-earth nanocrystals. Furthermore, we demonstrate the functionalization of these nanocrystals by means of doping, which have shown visible-to-the-naked-eye green up-conversion emissions and may find application in biological labeling fields.
