Shell thickness dependence of upconversion luminescence of β-NaYF4:Yb, Er/β-NaYF4 core-shell nanocrystals.
NaYF4:Yb, Er/NaYF4 core-shell nanocrystals with different thickness shells were synthesized. The correlation between shell thickness and upconversion (UC) luminescence intensity was investigated experimentally and theoretically. We found that the UC fluorescence intensity of the core-shell nanocrystals is enhanced exponentially with shell thickness (d) in the form of (1-0.9 exp(-d/d0). For our ...

A strategy has been adopted for simultaneous morphology manipulation and upconversion luminescence enhancement of β-NaYF4:Yb(3+)/Er(3+) microcrystals by simply tuning the KF dosage. X-ray power diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence spectra (PL) were used to cha...
متن کاملEffects of photonic structures on upconversion
Photonic crystals modify the local density of photon states. These variations influence the emission properties of a dipole embedded within the photonic crystal. Furthermore, field enhancement can be observed within photonic crystals. In this paper, we investigate how these effects influence upconversion processes in β-NaYF4:Er. For this purpose we use finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simul...
متن کاملEnhancing upconversion luminescence of NaYF4:Yb/Er nanocrystals by Mo(3+) doping and their application in bioimaging.
Enhancement of upconversion luminescence is imperative for the applications of upconversion nanocrystals (UCNs). In this work, we investigated the upconversion luminescence enhancement of NaYF4:Yb/Er by Mo(3+) ion doping. It was found that the upconversion luminescence intensities of the green and red emissions of UCNs co-doped with 10 mol% Mo(3+) ions were enhanced by 6 and 8 times, respective...
