Beschreibung
Nanocrystalline LiYF4:Pr promises exciting design opportunities for composite photonic devices in the visible. Here, we present the spectroscopic properties of monodisperse colloidal LiYF4:Pr nanocrystals. We observed an unexpected yet intense emission with lifetimes comparable to bulk crystals. These results pave the way for applications in quantum optics and biomedicine.
