Description
Summary:Fabrication of nanoscale materials with desirable morphology and surface properties becomes more urgent when constructing hybrid nanocrystals with multiple functionalities. Here, we report a facile measure to control the outer layer growth direction combining with coprecipitation and thermal decomposition method for constructing a series of heterogeneous core/shell structured NaLnF4 nanocrystals, involving NaYF4 and NaNdF4 material. Our investigations suggest that it is feasible to control over the outer layer growth orientation by combining the two traditional methods.
