The spectroscopic measurements of orthorhombic CaNb2O6 phosphor doped with Yb3+ ions have been performed. Low temperature spectra indicate that Yb3+ ions may occupy three types of nonequivalent sites inside the CaNb2O6 lattice: a main Yb3+ site dominating the near-infrared emission

Water-soluble BaYF5:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles with the surface functionalized by a layer of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were synthesized via a facile one-step PAA-assisted hydrothermal method. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein was conjugated with BaYF5:Yb3+/Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles via free carboxylic acid groups on
We have studied the growth behaviour of sub-10 nm NaYF₄ upconversion nanocrystals of the hexagonal β-phase and the cubic α-phase. Ostwald-ripening of such particles in oleic acid/octadecene solvent results in broadening of the particle size distribution if the colloid contains

In this work, we described one pot hydrothermal synthesis of surface modified water soluble YF3: Yb, Er upconverting nanofluorophores (UCNFs) using natural biopolymer chitosan. The obtained nanocrystals have undergone X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy
In this study, chitosan functionalized LaF3:Yb,Er upconverting nanotransducers (UCNTs) with controlled size and shape have been successfully synthesized by a facile one pot precipitation method. The chitosan encapsulated UCNTs show bright upconversion fluorescence upon excitation with 974 nm NIR region.
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
