Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Water Soluble α-NaGdF4/β-NaYF4:Yb,Er Core–Shell Nanoparticles

Abstract Hexagonal phase (β) sodium rare earth tetrafluorides (NaREF4, RE = Y, Gd, Lu, et al.) are considered the ideal matrices for lanthanide (Ln) ions doped upconversion (UC) luminescence materials, because they can provide favorable crystal lattice structures for the doped luminescent Ln ions to...
