Preparation and optical study of Au nanograins in amorphous La-oxide medium

Detection of abemaciclib, an anti-breast cancer agent, using a new electrochemical DNA biosensor

“…Lanthanides extensively explored in the forms of oxide, oxycarbonate, hydroxide, oxychloride or phosphate, with the applications in optoelectronic, solid electrolyte, phosphors, sorbent and catalytic equipment (Dakhel, 2009;Ferhi et al, 2008;Huang et al, 2000;Imanaka et al, 2002;Tokunaga et al, 1997). For instance, cerium has shown unique attributes as material for the fabrications of catalysts, optical filters and high-k gate dielectrics (Chellammal Gayathri et al, 2022;Fudala et al, 2022;Kuznetsov et al, 2022).…”

Self-assembled lanthanum hydroxide microspheres within a reaction–diffusion framework: synthesis, characterization, control and application

“…Due to their attractive optical, electrical, and magnetic properties, lanthanides have found numerous applications as catalysts, 1,2 semiconductors, 3 sensors, 4 high-quality phosphors, 5,6 and timeresolved uorescence (TRF) biological labels. 7,8 More recently, rare earth-doped optoelectronic materials 9,10 have been used in the design of high-performance luminescent devices, 11,12 made possible because of the fascinating up-conversion properties of lanthanides. 13,14 Lanthanum, being the lightest representative of the lanthanides series, has been widely studied in its hydroxide, oxide, oxalate, phosphate, and oxychloride forms.…”

Atomic spectrometry update. X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry

“…410 XRF and XRD investigations showed that the structure of the films pre-annealed at 400 C was amorphous but crystallised above 800 C to form the ErMnO 3 compound. A second paper 411 reported the preparation and optical study of Au nano-grains in amorphous lanthanum oxide films. Films embedded with 4.5 nm Au grains exhibited insulating properties whereas 15 nm embedded grains made the film conducting.…”
