Apparent self-heating of individual upconverting nanoparticle thermometers
Nanoparticles are often used as nanothermometers by measuring their luminescence from upconverted energy under illumination. The authors uncover the artificial appearance of a temperature rise at high excitation intensities due to effects involving higher energy states.
