Description
Nanocrystalline LiYF4:Pr promises exciting design opportunities for composite photonic devices. Here, we present an in-depth spectroscopic investigation on monodispersed colloidal LiYF4:Pr nanocrystals of 10nm size. We observed an unexpected yet intense emission with comparably long lifetimes. These results
pave the way for applications in quantum optics or biomedicine.
