摘要
In this work we report co-thermolysis as a suitable method for nanomaterial synthesis which allows the creation of hexagonal upconverting nanocrystals, NaGdF4:Yb3+,Er3+, in a wide range of sizes (20-120 nm). Only a very high Yb3+ concentration (above 70%) results in pure cubic-phase nanocrystals with irregular shape. Additionally, we showed that the impact of Yb3+, Er3+ and Gd3+ ions on the size and optical properties of nanocrystals is significant. We found that the main changes in optical properties do not depend on the nanocrystal size mostly, but are determined by the ion-ion interactions which include both Er3+-Er3+ and Er3+-Yb3+ cross relaxation.
