Luminescent biodetection based on lanthanide-doped inorganic nanoprobes

Tunable green to red ZrO2:Er nanophosphors

“…4(b and c). The change in the crystalline phase due to higher erbium concentration is accompanied by a relative increase of the red light due to the 4 …”

Europium Luminescence as a Structural Probe: Structure‐Dependent Changes in Eu3+‐Substituted Th(C2O4)2·xH2O (x = 6, 2, and 0)

“…The decay pattern of the Eu 3+ luminescence revealed two decay modes, the first is due to the close association of oxygen defects and Eu 3+ ions, and the other slow decay is for Eu 3+ ions that do not interact with oxygen defects. 3 with a trace amount of HF (both E. Merck). The traces of F -ions were removed by repeated evaporation and dilution.…”

“…In particular, lanthanide-doped materials have a prominent place in modern solid-state optical technologies, such as solid-state lasers for industry; [1,2] optical probes for medical diagnosis; [3] environmental monitoring; [4] active optical fibers for telecommunication; [5] phosphors for cathode-ray tubes, [6] displays, [7] and lightning applications; [9] and photocatalysis. [8] From the fundamental point of view, the understanding of the particular physical properties of lanthanide-doped materials is also of interest.…”

Multifunctional electrospinning composite fibers for orthotopic cancer treatment in vivo

“…Molecular imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [17,18], X-ray computed tomography (CT), upconversion fluorescence microscopy [19][20][21][22], and positron emission tomography (PET) play an important role in medicine and biomedical research [23,24]. The information obtained from single modal molecular imaging is inadequate in terms of the efficiency and accuracy requirements of clinical diagnosis and medical research [25,26].…”
