Abstract

The present study reports a novel approach for synthesizing differently sized magnetic/upconversion luminescent NaGdF₄:Yb,Er nanocrystals through flow chemistry. The solvent effects on the control of particle size were particularly investigated for tailoring the size and physical properties of the resulting particles potentially useful for bioimaging.
