Experimental and theoretical photoluminescence studies in nucleic acid assembled gold-upconverting nanoparticle clusters

Abstract

Combinations of rare earth doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) and gold nanostructures are sought as nanoscale theranostics due to their ability to convert near infrared (NIR) photons into visible light and heat.
