Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit temperature-dependent luminescence, enabling the design of luminescent nanothermometers for industrial and medical applications. This research demonstrates the temperature-sensing properties of NaYF:7.5%Er@NaYF and NaErF@NaYF NPs, which have a hexagonal shape and average size of 17 nm. Their core@shell structure is confirmed using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and they exhibit intense upconversion (UC) emission under 1532 nm excitation in HO and DO colloids. The recorded spectra show Er emission bands with varying intensity ratios depending on the Er concentration, chosen solvent, and temperature. The spectroscopic properties of the studied NPs allow for their excitation and observation of emission within biological windows, which makes them useful for bio-related applications. The emission of prepared NPs is analyzed as a function of temperature from 298 up to 358/363 K in HO and DO. The ratios for thermally-coupled levels and non-TCLs and their relative sensitivities are studied. For the high dopant concentration sample in water, the O─H vibrations and blue shift in the absorption spectrum lead to a record relative sensitivity of 2.50% K (at 363 K) for the H/I ratio. The use of synthesized NPs for bioimaging under 1550 nm excitation is also demonstrated to observe their accumulation in the guts of Daphnia magna.
