In this work, a set of crystalline LiYF4:Nd3+ nanoparticles with an average size of about 35 nm, were successfully synthesized via laser ablation method in liquid (combination of ethanol and water). The samples have trigonal structure corresponding to LiYF4 host. The spectral and kinetic characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles corresponded to the characteristics of the target LiYF4:Nd3+ bulk crystal. In particular, the luminescence decay curves for the 4F3/2 →4I11/2 radiative transition (Nd3+) are single-exponential and the decay times were around 517 μs, which is typical for Nd3+ in LiYF4 host. It has been established that the decrease in the power density of laser radiation energy leads to the increase of the average particle size

В настоящей работе методом лазерной абляции в жидкости (водный раствор этанола) были успешно синтезирована серия кристаллических наночастиц LiYF4:Nd3+ со средним размером около 35 нм. Образцы имели тригональную структуру, соответствующую матрице LiYF4. Спектральные и кинетические характеристики синтезированных наночастиц соответствовали характеристикам монокристалла LiYF4:Nd3+, выступавшего в качестве мишени. В частности, затухание люминесценции на переходе 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 Nd3+ описывалось экспоненциальным законом с характеристическим временеи около 517 мкс, что характерно для ионов Nd3+ в кристалле LiYF4. Установлено, что уменьшение плотности мощности лазерного излучения приводит к увеличению среднего размера частиц.
