Significant developments have been made in the past few decades for lanthanide (Ln) ions
doped fluorosilicate glass-ceramics (Flusi-GCs). As novel generation of luminescence …

Abstract Lanthanide ions (Ln 3+) doped disordered crystals, which exhibit excellent
downshifting/upconversion luminescent properties, are widely used in a variety of optical …

We report a general synthesis of high-quality cubic (α-phase) and hexagonal (β-phase)
NaREF4 (RE: Pr to Lu, Y) nanocrystals (nanopolyhedra, nanorods, nanoplates, and …

Hexagonal sodium yttrium fluoride, NaYF4, is the most efficient host material to date for
green (Yb3+/Er3+ doped) and blue (Yb3+/Tm3+ doped) upconversion (UC) phosphors, ie …

β-NaYF4: Ln3+ (Ln= Eu, Tb, Yb/Er, and Yb/Tm) hexagonal microprisms with remarkably
uniform morphology and size have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route. X-ray …

β-NaYF4 microcrystals with a variety of morphologies, such as microrod, hexagonal
microprism, and octadecahedron, have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route. X …

Abstract NaGdF4: Eu3+, NaEuF4, and NaGdF4 nanocrystals were synthesized in the high‐
boiling coordinating solvent N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐ethylenediamine (HEEDA). Phase pure …

The controlled hydrothermal preparation of NaYF4 as both cubic and hexagonal phase
types with specific associated morphologies, nanospheres and microtubes, respectively, has …

The hexagonal-phase (β) of NaREF4 upconversion nanocrystals (RE= rare earth elements)
has been widely employed because of the outstanding luminescence performance, yet less …

In this work, we report a phenomenon that upconversion emission intensity of Er3+ was
enhanced by cadmium. Cd2+ was taken with 0, 3, 10, 20, 30, and 40 mol% as a new dopant …
