Spectroscopic calculation of NaYF4 contained transparent glass ceramics doped with different content of Nd3+

Dynamics analysis of laser radiation in Nd3+:NaYF4 nanostructure glass ceramic

“…This indicates that the crystallization is beneficial for the intensity of emission. The results of theoretical analysis coincide with experiment[10].…”

“…In this paper, we extend our previous experimental study on Nd 3+ doped NaYF4 nanostructure transparent glass ceramics [10]. Based on rate equations theory, the stationary states of rate equations are analyzed, and the populations of Nd 3+ ions in each energy level are proposed.…”

Yb3+–Er3+ co-doped sol–gel transparent nano-glass-ceramics containing NaYF4 nanocrystals for tuneable up-conversion phosphors

“…Calculated nanocrystals average radii (in nm) for different samples are presented in Table 1 showing up the increase of the radius of precipitated NaYF 4 nanocrystals with the treatment temperature, ranging from 4.1 to 9.6 nm. It should be noticed that, by using conventional high temperature melting technique, Liu et al [28][29][30] obtained comparable average NaYF 4 nanocrystal radii.…”

“…Recently, transparent glass-ceramics comprising Er 3+ and Nd 3+ doped NaYF 4 nanocrystals have been successfully synthesized by conventional melting technique at 1450 • C, studying up-conversion processes [28], crystallization kinetics, microstructure and spectroscopic properties [29,30].…”

Imaging gap junctions with silica-coated upconversion nanoparticles

“…It has been reported that fluoride glasses and crystals are the most commonly preferred, such as ZrF 4 , HfF 4 , and NaYF 4 [26]. NaYF 4 has been reported to be an efficient matrix especially for Er and Tm doping [17]. Upconversion phenomenon has been observed when a material is doped with single lanthanide ions such as LaF 3 :Er, YVO 4 :Eu or when there are two lanthanide ion types of which one is the acceptor and the other the emitter, e.g., NaYF 4 :Er 3?…”
