Synthesis and Upconversion Luminescence of Nanoparticles Y2O3 and Gd2O3 Co-doped with Yb3+ and Er3+

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNs) find application in nanomedicine as biolabels to identify cancer cells. In this work, Y2O3: Er3+/ Yb3+ and Gd2O3: Er3+/ Yb3+ systems were fabricated by combustion synthesis (CS) and sol-gel (SG) methods to obtain nanoparticles with different shapes and sizes after p...
