We report the microwave-assisted synthesis of binary doped optical-magnetic up/downconverting NaGdF4:RE and iron oxide/SiO2/NaGdF4:RE nanoparticles. The morphological characteristics were finely tuned from elongated rod-shaped to ovoidal nanoparticles. The (Yb, and Er) activated particles provided a...
