Regarding biological purposes, it is essential to have thermal probes that are efficient in this type of environment. Thermal bioprobes demand highly crystallized nanocrystals, commonly smaller than 100 nm, with luminescence emissions in the near-infrared range that are not significantly absorbed by biological tissues. Several nanomaterials that have been studied for nanothermometry do not meet the requirements for this type of applications. Accordingly, researches are needed to develop suitable and reliable nanothermometers for thermal sensing. Therefore, our goal was to investigate the impact of Nd³⁺-Yb³⁺ co-doping on the thermometric performance of YAG matrix, a promising crystal because it presents a host structure favoring the insertion of lanthanide ions, which provide its luminescent features. In order to achieve this purpose, we first synthesized YAG:Nd³⁺-Yb³⁺ nanocrystals through a generic route - called modified Pechini method - to screen their thermal properties. Our results show that YAG:Nd³⁺-Yb³⁺ nanocrystals have the potential to work in <em>vivo</em> environments. The nanothermometers investigated here are excited in the first biological window (BW-I) at 805 nm with luminescence emissions within the BW-II, at 1030.5 and 1064 nm. By co-doping the YAG matrix with different Nd³⁺-Yb³⁺ concentrations, we studied the energy transfer process between the dopant ions and their impact on thermometry efficiency.

Here, a quasi-periodic concave template with large area was fabricated through the spontaneous condensation of droplets on the substrate surface. Based on the quasi-periodic template, SiO₂ micro-lens arrays (SiO₂-MLAs) Mie scattering composite structure was fabricated by imprinting on a SiO₂-nanosphere thin film, which significantly improved light out-coupling at full angles with optimized quasi-Lambertian luminescence characteristics.

However, due to the high surface to volume ratio of μLED, surface recombination becomes dominant that is generated due to robust sidewall defects. The enhanced current spreading in μLED further affects the carrier injection in the active region as the electrons and holes are captured by sidewall defects. These effects are more dominant at low current density in μLED while at high current density, the sidewall defects get saturated, and the surface recombination weakens.
