Figure 4From: Monodisperse upconversion GdF3:Yb, Er rhombi by microwave-assisted synthesis TEM, XRD and SAED characterization of obtained samples. (A) TEM micrograph of GdF3 nanocrystals synthesized at five times the standard concentration. (B) LiF nanocrystals synthesized by traditional conductive heating at the same conditions like A. Inset: XRD pattern of the obtained nanocrystals. (C) XRD pattern of GdF3 nanocrystals synthesized at five times the standard concentration. Inset: SAED pattern of the prepared sample.Back to article page
