Preparation of core-shell NaGdF4 nanoparticles doped with luminescent lanthanide ions to be used as upconversion-based probes

TL;DR: This protocol describes the detailed experimental procedure for synthesizing core-shell NaGdF4 nanoparticles that incorporate lanthanide ions into different layers for efficiently converting a single-wavelength, near-IR excitation into a tunable visible emission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing multiphoton upconversion through energy clustering at sublattice level

TL;DR: A new class of upconversion nanocrystals adopting an orthorhombic crystallographic structure in which the lanthanide ions are distributed in arrays of tetrad clusters is described, which enables the preservation of excitation energy within the sublattice domain and effectively minimizes the migration ofexcitation energy to defects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing luminescence in lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The underlying principles of controlling energy transfer through lanthanide doping are presented, the major advances and key challenging issues in improving upconversion luminescence are overviewed, and the likely directions of future research in the field are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-band upconversion emission in lanthanide-doped KMnF3 nanocrystals.

TL;DR: A novel oil-based procedure for the synthesis of lanthanide-doped KMnF3 nanocry crystals with only single-band UC emissions from Er, Ho, and Tm dopants is reported, which shows that these nanocrystals can serve as ideal optical biolabels for deep-tissue imaging without the constraints associated with conventional multipeak UC nanocrystal.
