Silica-coated upconversion lanthanide nanoparticles: The effect of crystal design on morphology, structure and optical properties

NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition of lanthanide trifluoroacetates using oleylamine (OM) as both solvent and surface binding ligand. The effect of reaction temperature and time on the properties of the particles was investigated. The nanoparticles were characteri...
