Doping Li+/Ga3+ in ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ splits the energy level of electron traps into shallow traps and deep traps, which makes the developed phosphors be successfully excited by a low-energy NIR light and suitable for long-term biological imaging.
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.
