Phosphors often suffer luminescence quenching at elevated temperatures. Now, thermal quenching can be combated with surface phonon-assisted energy transfer, enabling the luminescence of
ultrasmall upconversion nanophosphors to be dramatically enhanced. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
