Abstract

A shining example of doping Many technological materials are intentionally 'doped' by the introduction of trace amounts of foreign elements to impart new and useful properties — a classic example is the doping of semiconductors. Feng Wang et al. describe a system in which lanthanide doping can be used to control the growth of NaYF4 nanocrystals, making it possible to simultaneously tune the size, crystallographic phase and optical properties of the resulting materials. These findings increase our understanding of doping-induced structural transformations, and provide a straightforward route for the controlled synthesis of luminescent nanocrystals for many applications.
