The spectroscopic properties of different infrared-emitting neodymium-doped nanoparticles
(LaF 3: Nd 3+, SrF 2: Nd 3+, NaGdF 4: Nd 3+, NaYF 4: Nd 3+, KYF 4: Nd 3+, GdVO 4: Nd 3+ …

The understanding of living systems and their building blocks relies heavily on the
assessment of structure–function relationships at the nanoscale. Ever since the …

In a proof-of-concept study, we assessed different analytical and spectroscopic parameters
for stability screening of differently sized β-NaYF4: 20 mol% Yb3+, 2 mol% Tm3+ …

The dissolution of upconverting AYF4: Yb, Tm (A= Na or K) nanoparticles (UCNPs) in
aqueous media was systematically studied. UCNPs with a cubic structure and sizes of …

Pure hexagonal (β-phase) NaYF4-based hydrophobic upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs)
were surface-modified with O-phospho-L-threonine (OPLT), alendronic acid, and PEG …

Lanthanide-doped Y 2 SiO 5 microcrystals were prepared using the solution combustion,
solid state and sol–gel synthesis techniques. Of these, the sol–gel method yields the most …

We demonstrate a novel strategy for preparing hydrophilic upconverting nanoparticles
(UCNPs) by harnessing the photocrosslinking ability of diacetylenes. Replacement of the …

We use two water based synthetic approaches to LaF3: Nd3+ nanoparticles (NPs),
hydrothermal microwave treatment (HTMW) and co‐precipitation (CO) technique, with …

We report on the synthesis, spectroscopy and energy transfer mechanisms of KY 3 F 10
nanocrystals doped with trivalent samarium ions. Dopant concentration-dependent …

Nanosized Eu/γ-and/or η-Al 2 O 3 ([Eu 2 О 3]= 0.00, 0.02, 0.45 and 0.92 wt%) powders with
the particle size from< 10 nm to 21 nm synthesized by cw CO 2 laser vaporization were …
