Abstract:The Ce0.5Y0.35Tb0.15F3 nanoparticles with CeF3 hexagonal structure were synthesized by co-precipitation technique. The average nanoparticle diameter was 14±1 nm. The luminescence decay curves of Ce0.5Y0.35Tb0.15F3 nanoparticles (λem = 541 nm, 5D4 – 7F5 transition of Tb3+) conjugated with Radachlorin by means of polyvinylpyrrolidone coating as well as without Radachlorin were detected. Efficient nonradiative energy transfer from Tb3+ to the Radachlorin was demonstrated. The maximum energy transfer coefficient f… Show more
