Boltzmann- and Non-Boltzmann-Based Thermometers in the First, Second and Third Biological Windows for the SrF2:Yb3+, Ho3+ Nanocrystals Under 980, 940 and 915 nm Excitations

Abstract Spectrally determination of temperature based on the lanthanide-doped nanocrystals (NCs) is a vital strategy to noninvasively measure the temperature in practical applications. Here, we synthesized a series of SrF2:Yb3+/Ho3+ NCs and simultaneously observed the efficient visible upconversion...
