Abstract: Nanocrystals of up-conversion phosphor, ytterbium and holmium co-doped sodium yttrium fluoride were prepared by a co-precipitation method in the presence of EDTA. Nanocrystals of different sizes with an average diameter of 148, 83 and 41 nm were obtained in defferent molar ratios of EDTA to total Ln3+(Y3+, Yb3+, Er3+) of 0, 0.5 and 1, respectively. Up-conversion fluorescent properties of the nanoparticles were also examined.

Key words: Up-conversion fluorescence, Nanocrystal material, Ytterbium, Holmium, Sodium yttrium fluoride
