Monodisperse upconversion GdF(3):Yb, Er rhombi by microwave-assisted synthesis

We have synthesized a variety of monodisperse colloidal GdF(3):Yb, Er upconversion nanocrystals with different shape, size, and dopants by microwave-assisted synthesis. Typical upconversion emission from Er(3+ )was observed. In addition to highly monodisperse spherical particles, we were able to pre...

Sumario:We have synthesized a variety of monodisperse colloidal GdF(3):Yb, Er upconversion nanocrystals with different shape, size, and dopants by microwave-assisted synthesis. Typical upconversion emission from Er(3+ )was observed. In addition to highly monodisperse spherical particles, we were able to prepare monodispersed rhombic-shaped slices that showed a tendency for self-assembly into stacks.
