The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern indicated that the power was a single hexagonal phase. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the average size of the nanocrystals was less than 10 nm, with a narrow size distribution. The nanocrystals were dispersible in nonpolar solvents and form a fully transparent colloidal solution, and the solution was stable for several months without any aggregates. The Yb^3+-Er^3+ codoped nanocrystal colloidal solution exhibited a bright green upconversion fluorescence under 980 nm excitation from a diode laser. The nanocrystals were potentially applicable in biolabeling and bioimaging.展开更多

Phase identification of LaF3: Yb^3+ , Er^+ and LaF3: Yb^3+ , Er^+/SiO2 was performed via XRD. The TEM image showed that the size of LaF3: Yb^3+ , Er^+ was 150 nm and LaF3: Yb^3+ , Er^+/SiO2 presented clearly a core/shell structure with 20 nm shell thickness. The upconversion spectra of LaF3: Yb^3+ , Er^+ and LaF3: Yb^3+ , Er^+/SiO2 in solid state and in ethanol were studied with a 980 nm diode laser as the excitation source. The upconversion spectra showed that the silica shell had little effect on the properties of fluorescence of the LaF3:Yb^3+ , Er^+ microcrystals. At the same time, the green luminescence photo of LaF3: Yb3+, Er3+/SiO2 in the PBS buffer was obtained, which indicated that the LaF3: Yb^3+ , Er^+/SiO2 could be used in biological applications.展开更多

Well-dispersed nanopartiele with an average size of 30 nm and a hexagonal shape were synthesized. The effects of temperature and reaction time on the preparation of nanoparticle were investigated, and the growth mechanism of nanoparticle was briefly discussed. The effects of Eu^3+-doped concentration, the calcination time and temperature were also investigated. An optimal Eu^3 +-doped concentration of 5% is found. Calcination temperature and prolonged of the nanoparticle at high time greatly reduce the fluorescence intensity. The sample calcinated at 600 ℃ for 6 h emits the strongest fluorescence.展开更多

Particle size and shape of LaF3 nanocrystalline powder was analysed with TEM. Particles were mainly spherical with narrow particle size distribution (10 20 nm). The average particle size analysed with XRD is 16.7 nm. Nano-LaF3 bulk material was prepared by compacting the powder to 1 GPa at room temperature and a vacuum of 10^-4 Pa. The ionic conductivity of nano-LaF3 bulk material was studied with complex impedance spectra at room temperature. The ionic conductivity of nano-LaF3 bulk material (1 × 10^-5 S·cm^-1 ) at room temperature is significantly increased compared to that of single crystal LaF3 (1 × 10^-6 S·cm^-1). A special phenomenon was observed firstly time that the ionic conductivity increased gradually with multiple testing in result of relaxation.展开更多
