A metal shell was used in this study to provide significant enhancement of the up-converted emission from cubic NaYF(4) nanoparticles, creating a valuable composite material for labeling in biology and other applications - use of the cubic form of the
A method of measuring the volumetric magnetic susceptibility, in which magnetically labeled cells or other particles are suspended in a paramagnetic solution of known susceptibility over the poles of a magnet, is presented. If the cells are more magnetic than
We report a new sensor for the specific detection of lead ions (Pb2+) in contaminated water based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as donors and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as receptors. The UCNPs modified with
