Abstract

Optical characteristics of luminescent materials, such as emission profile and lifetime, play an important role in their applications in optical data storage, document security, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles are particularly suitable for such applications due to their inherent optical properties, including large anti-Stokes shift, distinguishable spectroscopic fingerprint, and long luminescence lifetime. However, conventional upconversion nanoparticles have a limited capacity for information storage or complexity to prevent counterfeiting. Here, we demonstrate that integration of long-lived Mn 2+ upconversion emission and relatively short-lived lanthanide upconversion emission in a particulate platform allows the generation of binary temporal codes for efficient data encoding. Precise control of the particle’s structure allows the excitation feasible both under 980 and 808 nm irradiation. We find that the as-prepared Mn 2+-doped nanoparticles are especially useful for multilevel anti-counterfeiting with high-throughput rate of authentication and without the need for complex time-gated decoding instrumentation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
