A hollow victory : Hollow‐sphere nanocrystals are fabricated by electron‐beam lithography in a self‐assembled luminescent NaYF 4 :Yb,Er nanocrystal monolayer (see picture). The formation mechanism is a heat‐induced inner acid‐etching process. Pattern formation can be achieved with single‐nanoparticle resolution. The 20‐nm β ‐NaYF 4 :Yb,Er nanocrystal monolayer acts as a data‐storage medium.
