Uniform Spheres of <i>α</i>-NaYF<sub>4</sub>:RE<sup>3+</sup> (RE=Eu, Tb, Ce, Er, and Tm): Template-Free Synthesis, Multi-Color Photoluminescence, and Their Application in Cellular Imaging

Uniformly dispersed luminescent probes with a high brightness and high resolution are desired in bio imaging fields. Here, ~100 nm sized and well-dispersed spheres of RE<sup>3+</sup> doped &#945;-NaYF<sub>4</sub> (rare earth (RE) = Eu, Tb, Ce, Er, and Tm) have been facile...
