Low-temperature open-air synthesis of PVP-coated NaYF4:Yb,Er,Mn upconversion nanoparticles with strong red emission
Cubic (α-phase) NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are uniquely suited to biophotonics and biosensing applications due to their near-infrared excitation and visible red emission (λex approx. 660 nm), enabling detection via thick overlying tissue with no bio-autofluorescence. However, UCN...
