Luminescent spherical and monodisperse Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped Y2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized by homogenous precipitation followed by annealing. These nanoparticles exhibits high cell viability. On the basis of luminescence nanotermometry, the nanoparticles exhibits features of primary thermometer with high thermal sensitivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
