Facile synthesis of a NaYF<sub>4</sub>:Yb,Er–Ag<sub>2</sub>S nanocomposite, upconversion emission, microbubble formation by optical tweezers, and <i>in vitro</i> photodynamic therapy studies
NaYF 4 :Yb,Er–Ag 2 S nanocomposite was synthesized using three methods, and microbubble formation in an optical tweezer setup was observed for the first time. Its potential for photodynamic therapy was evaluated through in vitro PDT studies.
