Na(Y1.5 Na0.5)F6 single-crystal nanorods as multicolor luminescent materials.

چکیده
A facile wet chemical synthesis method was used to prepare a range of single-crystal Na(Y1.5 Na0.5)F6 nanorods with controllable aspect ratios. Their novel multicolor upconversion (UC) fluorescence has been successfully realized by doping Yb3+/Er3+ (green) and Yb3+/Tm3+ (blue) ion pairs. When doped with Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions, the strong red and green downconversion (DC) fluorescence has also been observed, respectively. Being covered with oleic acids, these luminescent nanorods have been transparently dispersed in nonpolar solvent. For their unique luminescence and controllable morphology and surface properties, these nanorods may find great applications in the fields of color displays, biolabels, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), optical storage, optoelectronics, anticounterfeiting, and solid-state lasers.

We report the synthesis of luminescent crystals based on hexagonal-phase NaYF4 upconversion microrods. The synthetic procedure involves an epitaxial end-on growth of upconversion nanocrystals comprising different lanthanide activators onto the NaYF4 microrods. This bottom-up method readily affords multicolor-banded crystals in gram quantity by varying the composition of the activators. Importan...

Template-free CuO nanorods were synthesized through a three-step chemical method with no water-insoluble materials. The first step included the preparation of a Cu-complex, which was obtained from dipicolinic acid, L-lysine, and copper nitrate. Then, as the second step, the obtained solution was allowed to be relaxed for a week to and formation of some blue single-crystals single crystals, whic...
