Abstract
Efficient tailoring of upconversion emissions in conventional single red emitting KMnF<sub>3</sub>:Yb<sup>3+</sup>/Er<sup>3+</sup> nanocrystals is achieved through local crystal structure engineering and the suppression of energy transfer as well as back transfer, which is of great significance for extended optical applications.
