Enabling Photon Upconversion and Precise Control of Donor–Acceptor Interaction through Interfacial Energy Transfer
Upconverting materials have achieved great progress in recent years, however, it remains challenging for the mechanistic research on new upconversion strategy of lanthanides. Here, a novel and efficient strategy to realize photon upconversion from more lanthanides and fine control of lanthanide donor-acceptor interactions through using the interfacial energy transfer (IET) is reported. Unlike c...
متن کاملSubwavelength imaging through ion-beam-induced upconversion
The combination of an optical microscope and a luminescent probe plays a pivotal role in biological imaging because it allows for probing subcellular structures. However, the optical resolutions are largely constrained by Abbe's diffraction limit, and the common dye probes often suffer from photobleaching. Here we present a new method for subwavelength imaging by combining lanthanide-doped upco...
متن کاملEnergy transfer in lanthanide upconversion studies for extended optical applications.
Lanthanide pairs, which can upconvert low energy photons into higher energy photons, are promising for efficient upconversion emission. A typical system with Yb(3+) as a sensitizer can convert short NIR into visible/ultraviolet light via energy transfer between lanthanide ions. Such upconverting nanocrystals doped with lanthanide ions have found significant potential in bioimaging, photochemica...

A simple and general method is reported to tune the multicolour output of lanthanide-ion doped NaYF(4) upconversion nanoparticles within a given composition by controlling the reaction temperature in the thermolysis procedure.
متن کاملTuning upconversion through energy migration in core-shell nanoparticles.
Photon upconversion is promising for applications such as biological imaging, data storage or solar cells. Here, we have investigated upconversion processes in a broad range of gadolinium-based nanoparticles of varying composition. We show that by rational design of a core-shell structure with a set of lanthanide ions incorporated into separated layers at precisely defined concentrations, effic...
