Abstract Lanthanides (Ln 3+) are a unique class of optical materials and are extensively
used as building blocks for optoelectronic device architectures due to their outstanding …

The falsification of documents, currency, pharmaceuticals, branded goods, clothing, food
products, and packaging leads to severe consequences. Counterfeited products can not …

Upconverting core@ shell type β-NaYF4: Yb3+–Er3+@ SiO2 nanorods have been obtained
by a two-step synthesis process, which encompasses hydrothermal and microemulsion …

Luminescent YF 3 nanoparticles doped with Pr 3+ activator ion have been successfully
synthesized via a facile hydrothermal approach for their application as a multi-range optical …

The technology of lanthanide-based luminescent thermometers enabling remote optical
temperature measurements is intensively developed. Sensors that allow the most precise …

Despite numerous attempts to fabricate the core–shell nanoparticles, novel, simple, and low-
cost approaches are still required to produce these efficient nanosystems. In this study, we …

The present work reports on the structural and spectroscopic properties of Pr3+ doped ZnS
nanoparticles in silicate glasses prepared by sol–gel technique. Structural characterization …

Due to the fact that the luminescence of Eu 3+ belongs to orbital forbidden f→ f transition, the
luminous intensity of Eu 3+-activated phosphors is relatively weak. In this work, in order to …

In this work, we synthesized highly uniform and well-dispersed hexagonal phase GdPO 4
nanorods by hydrothermal method at 180° C, which were transformed to GdPO 4 …

Laser-induced morphology transformation of gold nanorods may be used for altering
interactions between plasmonic and luminescent nanoparticles (NPs), leading to the …
