Colloidal Upconverting Nanoparticle Systems for Integration in Targeting, Therapeutics and Imaging Applications

The synthesis and surface modification of sodium gadolinium fluoride (NaGdF4:Er3+/Tm3+, Yb3+) nanoparticles were investigated for potential integration in biological applications. These nanoparticles are poised to replace conventional fluorophores in targeting, imaging and therapeutic applicat...
