Monodisperse upconversion GdF<sub>3</sub>:Yb, Er rhombi by microwave-assisted synthesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We have synthesized a variety of monodisperse colloidal GdF<sub>3</sub>:Yb, Er upconversion nanocrystals with different shape, size, and dopants by microwave-assisted synthesis. Typical upconversion emission from Er<sup>3+ </sup>was observ...
