This work investigates the synthesis of bifunctional nanomaterials using the doping of paramagnetic GdF3 and GdPO4, and weakly paramagnetic CaYF5 nanoparticles with Yb3+ and Er3+, via a hydrothermal synthesis method. The nanoparticles produced were investigated for fluorescent properties that were b...
