© 2016 Elsevier B.V. The strong 1830 nm emission is realized in Yb/Tm:NaYF4@Yb:NaYF4 core/shell nanocrystals for the first time. The optimal Tm3+ concentration, shell thickness and composition respectively are 2 mol%, 6.5 nm and inert NaYF4. In comparison with Yb/Tm:NaYF4 nanocrystals, the luminescence intensity of Yb/Tm:NaYF4@NaYF4 core/shell nanocrystals enhances about 160 times.
