Core@shell structures of Fe3O4@Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb/Tm nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared and then used for in vivo NIR to NIR (980 nm to 800 nm) imaging, and as dual-mode T1/T2-weighted MRI because of the co-existence of Fe3O4 and Mn2+ in the NPs.

Lifetime of lanthanide luminescence basically decreases with increasing the ambient temperature. In this work, we developed NaErF4 core–shell nanocrystals with compensation of the lifetime variation with temperature. Upconversion lifetime of various emissions remains substantially unchanged as increasing the ambient temperature, upon 980/1530 nm excitation. The concentrated dopants, leading to extremely strong interactions between them, are responsible for the unique temperature-independent lifetime. Besides, upconversion mechanisms of NaErF4 core-only and core–shell nanocrystals under 980 and 1530 nm excitations were comparatively investigated. On the basis of luminescent ratiometric method, we demonstrated the optical thermometry using non-thermally coupled 4F9/2 and 4I9/2 emissions upon 1530 nm excitation, favoring the temperature monitoring in vivo due to both excitation and emissions fall in the biological window. The formed NaErF4 core–shell nanocrystals with ultra-small particle size, highly efficient upconversion luminescence, unique temperature-independent lifetimes, and thermometry operated in a biological window, are versatile in applications such as anti-counterfeiting, time-domain manipulation, and biological thermal probes.
