Transparent glass-ceramic composites embedded with Ln-fluoride nanocrystals are prepared in this work to enhance the upconversion luminescence of Tm3+. The crystalline phases, microstructures, and photoluminescence properties of samples are carefully investigated. KYb3F10 nanocrystals are proved to controllably precipitate in the glass-ceramics via the inducing of Yb3+ when the doping concentration varies from 0.5 to 1.5 mol%. Pure near-infrared upconversion emissions are observed and the emission intensities are enhanced in the glass-ceramics as compared to in the precursor glass due to the incorporation of Tm3+ into the KYb3F10 crystal structures via substitutions for Yb3+. Furthermore, KYb2F7 crystals are also nano-crystallized in the glass-ceramics when the Yb3+ concentration exceeds 2.0 mol%. The upconversion emission intensity of Tm3+ is further enhanced by seven times as Tm3+ enters the lattice sites of pure KYb2F7 nanocrystals. The designed glass ceramics provide efficient gain materials for optical applications in the biological transmission window. Moreover, the controllable nano-crystallization strategy induced by Yb3+ opens a new way for engineering a wide range of functional nanomaterials with effective incorporation of Ln3+ ions into fluoride crystal structures.

Hexagonal (β)-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with and without an inert (undoped NaYF4) shell have been successfully synthesized and the effects of shell thickness on the upconversion luminescence (UCL) and temperature sensing properties were systematically investigated. It was found that the NaYF4 shell and its thickness do not affect the RHS values and thermal sensitivity, but can obviously improve the UCL intensity of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ UCNPs. It implies that the core-shell structured NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+@NaYF4 UCNPs with excellent UCL properties have great potential to be used as temperature sensing probes in biomedical fields, without considering the influences of the shell thickness on their temperature sensing properties.

In this paper, highly crystalline YF 3: Yb 3+/ Ln 3+( Ln = Er 3+, Tm 3+) microsheets were successfully synthesized by a surfactant-free molten salt method for the first time. The results indicated that the as-obtained samples belonged to orthorhombic system and exhibited microsheets morphology with side lengths of 30 to 80 μm and wall thickness from 1 to 1.5 μm. By changing the dopant's species ( Ln 3+), multicolor (yellow and blue) upconversion emission can be observed in YF 3: Yb 3+/ Ln 3+ microsheets under 980 nm laser diode (LD) excitation. The upconversion mechanisms in co-doping YF 3 samples were analyzed in detail based on the emission spectra. Importantly, this approach not only proposes a new alternative in synthesizing such materials, but also opens the possibility to meet the increasing commercial demand.
