title: Synthesis of colour tunable lanthanide-ion doped NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles by controlling temperature.
abstract: A simple and general method is reported to tune the multicolour output of lanthanide-ion doped NaYF(4) upconversion nanoparticles within a given composition by controlling the reaction temperature in the thermolysis procedure.
