Abstract:
The project is focus on the synthesis and characterization of lanthanide bismuth oxyfluoride particles. The samples are synthesized through homogeneous precipitation using a microwave reactor to heat. Furthermore, by doping with different lanthanides (Tb, Eu, Tb-Eu; Pr; Nd; Yb-Ln, Ln=Er,Yb,Tm) it is tested how the optical response of the systems can be in terms of luminescence spectroscopy. The synthesized Ln3+ NPs are tested for the biological applications as nanothermometer. In recent times Luminescent nanothermometers have been widely investigated because they relate the local temperature of a biological system with their emission, as a result of an external radiation. Through these systems there is the possibility of excitation and / or emission in the so-called first and second biological window. The studies of these project are focused on NPs doped Ln3+ as thermal and emitting probes.
