The growing interest in precise, rapid and contactless optical temperature sensor has led to
the more demand for novel materials. In this work, Tm 3+/Yb 3+ co-doped CaZnOS …

We designed and synthesized NaYF4: Yb, Tm@ LiLuF4: Nd core–shell nanoparticles, which
can emit at∼ 800 nm under 980 nm excitation and at∼ 1060 nm under 808 nm excitation …

Maximum operating temperature in optical thermometry is limited due to poor thermal
stability of the sensing material at high temperatures. Here, Yb, Er and Ho-doped α-SiAlON …

Abstract Er 3+/Li+ co-doped Y 2 O 3 nanocrystals were synthesized by the sol-gel method.
Fluorescence intensity has been enhanced about 270 times under 980 nm laser excitation …

Core@ shell nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized by using the chemical co-
precipitation technique and Stӧber method. The XRD, TGA, HRTEM, FTIR, Raman and XPS …

In this work we report on YVO 4 nanocrystalline powders doped with individual ions Nd 3+,
Er 3+ and Tm 3+, and their combination. Modified Pechini method allowed obtaining weakly …

Rare-earth-ion-doped nanocrystals have low quantum conversion efficiency due to their
high surface-to-volume ratios and many surface defects, which induce fluorescence …

Abstract Bismuth Vanadate (BiVO 4) is a well-known industrial pigment, a microwave
dielectric material as well as an efficient photocatalyst for the degradation of organic …

The performances of nanothermometers based on visible light are inevitably degraded in
biological applications because visible light is greatly weakened after passing through …
