Size Effect on The Local Density of States of Tb3+-Er3+ Down-conversion Pairs in β-NaGdF4 Nanospheres
nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized by hydrothermal method using Span 80 as template. In Rayleigh limit (the size of the particle is comparability with the wavelength of the transition)

emitter
as a probe of the LDOS
was calculated with the Green tensor approach. There is no significant variation of LDOS inside the nanospheres. For the small size (
R

) of NCs
a new Gauss's distribution-like of the LDOS was obtained by Chew's theory
for
R
>
35 nm (in our case) the descent side of the Gauss-like distribution of the LDOS was obtained. The LDOS is directly proportional to local field
E

thus the Gauss-like distribution of the LDOS can be attributed to the strong interaction between the small emitter and the local field. By calculating the ratio of spontaneous radiative rate of bulk medium and the size of NCs
the filling factors can be determined directly.
