Lanthanide nanocrystals: a platform for the study of optics and magnetism in nanomaterials.

Development of Lanthanide based nanomaterials and investigation of their optical and magnetic properties are explored in this dissertation. Europium sulfide is one of the most prominent classes of magnetic lanthanide compounds. A novel one-step solvothermal synthesis technique was employed to produc...
