Emission wavelength tuning in rare earth fluoride upconverting nanoparticles decorated with dye coated titanate nanotubes
Emission wavelength tuning in rare earth fluoride upconverting nanoparticles decorated with dye coated titanate nanotubes
The radiative energy transfer from the rare earth fluoride upconverting (UC) NaxLiyYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles to Rhodamine dyes have been systematically studied in colloidal solutions at room temperature. The UC emission bands at 520 nm and 550 nm have been shifted to the longer wavelength (ca 600 nm) region suitable for bio-medical applications. In order to decrease the optical length between the upconverting emitter and the fluorophore, the UC nanoparticles were decorated with titanate nanotubes coated with a dense layer of dye molecules providing possible resonance energy transfer between them. The fabricated nanostructured composite shows efficient harvesting of UC emission within proximity of the nanoparticles allowing local generation of light suitable for photodynamic therapy applications.

Abstract
The radiative energy transfer from the rare earth fluoride upconverting (UC) NaxLiyYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles to Rhodamine dyes have been systematically studied in colloidal solutions at room temperature. The UC emission bands at 520 nm and 550 nm have been shifted to the longer wavelength (ca 600 nm) region suitable for bio-medical applications. In order to decrease the optical length between the upconverting emitter and the fluorophore, the UC nanoparticles were decorated with titanate nanotubes coated with a dense layer of dye molecules providing possible resonance energy transfer between them. The fabricated nanostructured composite shows efficient harvesting of UC emission within proximity of the nanoparticles allowing local generation of light suitable for photodynamic therapy applications.
