Unravelling the benefits of transition-metal-co-doping in lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles
Sonali Mohanty, Anna M. Kaczmarek
Abstract
In this review we provide an overview of the current knowledge on lanthanide upconversion materials co-doped with transition metals. We focus on how the co-dopants affect the host lattice and the energy transfer processes.
