Synthesis of Er3+, Yb3+ - doped hexagonal phase NaYF4 nanoparticles and application to ligand exchange and energy transfer studies

Nanoparticles containing rare earth ions have the ability to absorb and convert infrared light into visible light. The purpose of this work is to synthesize rare earth ion-doped NaYF4 nanoparticles in their most efficient form, the hexagonal phase. These nanoparticles are then used in ligand exchang...
