Preparation of LiLu1-xYbxF4:Tm@LiGdF4 Core-shell Nanocrystals with Enhanced Upconversion Luminescence
core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized by high temperature thermal decomposition method. Under the excitation of980 nm near infrared (NIR) laser
the luminescence intensity of the core-shell nanoparticles can be enhanced by about 15 times in contrast to the pure LiLuF

core. It is due to the passivating role of the inert-shell for protecting Tm
3+
ions in the core from nonradiative decay caused by surface defects. The intensity of the UC emission of the nanocrystals increases (at most 12.4 times) as the mole fraction of Yb
3+
ions increases from 20% to 100%
owing to the improvement of near-infrared absorption and energy-transfer from Yb
