Upconversion luminescence enhancement of Yb(3+), Nd(3+) sensitized NaYF4 core-shell nanocrystals on Ag grating films

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 28;51(8):1502-5. doi: 10.1039/c4cc08955c.

Abstract

Here, we report the wavelength-dependent and angle-dependent upconversion luminescence (UCL) enhancement of NaYF4:Yb(3+),Tm(3+)@NaYF4:Yb(3+),Nd(3+) core-shell nanocrystals (NCs) resulting from Ag grating structures, which provides a novel insight for improving UCL.
