A method wherein an aqueous solution of a fluoride, an aqueous solution of a host multi-valent metal salt and, optionally, an aqueous solution of a rare-earth metal dopant form a precipitate and wherein increasing the concentration of at least one of the group selected from the aqueous solution of the fluoride or the host multi-valent metal salt within the concentration range achieves smaller particles; or wherein decreasing the concentration of at least one of the group selected from the aqueous solution of the fluoride or the host multi-valent metal salt within the concentration range achieves larger particles.
