Optimising passivation shell thickness of single upconversion nanoparticles using a time-resolved spectrometer

Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are the most efficient multi-photon probe that can be used for deep tissue bio-imaging, fluorescence microscopy, and single molecule sensing applications. Passivating UCNPs with inert shell has been demonstrated to be an effective method to signifi...
