Multifunctional magnetic-fluorescent nanohybrids were successfully fabricated by a facile layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly of in situ generated Eu, Gd co-doped LaF(3) nanocrystals (LaF(3):Eu:Gd) on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Photoluminescence (PL) quenching occurred when LaF(3):Eu:Gd nanoparticles were directly coated

Tm(3+)-Yb(3+) codoped transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing LaF(3) nanocrystals were obtained by thermal treatment on the as-made glasses. The formation of LaF(3) nanocrystals and the incorporation of Tm(3+) and Yb(3+) into LaF(3) nanocrystal lattice were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and
