Nd3+ doped LiLuF4 nanoparticles are explored as photoluminescent nanothermometers and imaging probes. Such host-dopant configuration permits to resolve the fine Stark structure of Nd3+ photoluminescence at 1050 nm, and to use it for subcutaneous temperature sensing.
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.
