The Influence of SiO2 Shell on Fluorescent Properties of LaF3:Nd3+ /SiO2 Core/Shell Nanoparticles

Distinct effects of the SiO2 shell on fluorescence properties of LaF3:Nd3+/SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles were demonstrated by annealling the nanoparticles at different temperatures. Emission spectra, excitation spectra, and decay curves of the nanoparticles were measured. A significant improvement o...
