Multifunctional Eu3+- and Er3+/Yb3+-doped GdVO4 nanoparticles synthesized by reverse micelle method

Abstract: Synthesis of Eu3+- and Er3+/Yb3+-doped GdVO4 nanoparticles in reverse micelles and their multifunctional luminescence properties are presented. Using cyclohexane, Triton X-100, and n-pentanol as the oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant, respectively, crystalline nanoparticles with ~4 nm diameter are prepared at low temperatures. The particle size assessed using transmission electron microscopy is similar to the crystallite size obtained from X-ray diffraction measurements, suggesting that each particle comprises… Show more

“…As a comparison, the reported highest S a and S r is only 0.015 K −1 and 1.1% K −1 , respectively, for the thermometric materials based on TCL of Er 3+ . [ 28,29 ] Moreover, the monitored peaks of Pr 3+ (≈604 nm) and Tb 3+ (≈544 nm) are well separated, which endows the Tb 3+ /Pr 3+ :NaGd(MoO 4 ) 2 thermometric material a good signal discriminability for temperature detection.…”

“…This work constitutes a comparative study of the three Nd:NPs that have already been used for in vivo imaging purposes along with four other Nd 3þ doped systems (NaYF 4 :Nd 3þ , KYF 4 :Nd 3þ , GdVO 4 :Nd 3þ , and Y 3 Al 5 O 12 :Nd 3þ -hereafter Nd:YAG-) whose synthesis, basic characterization, and potential use as infrared biolabels have been reported and proposed. [37][38][39][40] The relevant role played by host in determining the fluorescent properties of Nd:NPs is discussed and, based on the comparative spectroscopic characterization, the ability of the different systems for in vivo imaging experiments will be discussed.…”

“…Nanophenomena due to size confinement in lanthanide nanoparticles may occur through changes of ion-phonon coupling, which influence the dynamics of 4f-4f transitions, whereas the static energy levels of the 4f states experience negligible impact. In fact, the majority of reported size-reduction effects are the consequences of induced structure distortion and surface defects that affect the local environment (site symmetry) surrounding the lanthanide ions [39]. Here, the results show a strong relationship between the crystallite size of Mg 2 TiO 4 nanoparticles and their structural (lattice parameter) and luminescence (emission intensity and lifetime) characteristics.…”
