New microarchitectures of (Er,Yb):Lu2O3 nanocrystals embedded in PMMA: synthesis, structural characterization, and luminescent properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the formation of two-dimensional disordered arrays of poly(methyl)methacrylate (PMMA) microcolumns with embedded single size distribution of Lu0.990Er0.520Yb0.490 nanocrystals, (Er,Yb):Lu2O3, using a disordered porous silicon template. The cubic (Er,Yb):Lu2O3 nanocrystals, which crystallize into the cubic system with Ia3¯ space group, were synthesized using the modified Pechini method. Electronic microscopic techniques were used to study the distribution of the nanocrystals in the PMMA columns. Cathodoluminescence was used to observe the visible luminescence of the particles. Red emission attributed to 4 F9/2 → 4I15/2 erbium transition is predominant in these new composites.

Synthesis of NaLuF4-based nanocrystals and large enhancement of upconversion luminescence of NaLuF4:Gd, Yb, Er by coating an active shell for bioimaging.
A series of NaLuF4-based hexagonal phase upconversion nanocrystals (UCNs) were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method and the properties of the UCNs were investigated. The results show that the as-prepared nanocrystals exhibit pure hexagonal lattice structures, uniform morphologies, high monodispersities and excellent upconversion luminescence. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensiti...

متن کاملAqueous phase synthesis of upconversion nanocrystals through layer-by-layer epitaxial growth for in vivo X-ray computed tomography.
Lanthanide-doped core-shell upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) have tremendous potential for applications in many fields, especially in bio-imaging and medical therapy. As core-shell UCNCs are mostly synthesized in organic solvents, tedious organic-aqueous phase transfer processes are usually needed for their use in bio-applications. Herein, we demonstrate the first example of one-step synthesis...
