摘要

Some lanthanide-doped nanoparticles can absorb X-ray radiation and emit in the visible to near infrared spectrum via a down-conversion mechanism, making them a potentially valuable agent for in vivo imaging studies. We have studied a series of Gd~(3+) and Eu~(3+)compositions in lanthanide fluorides to optimize the emission from Eu~(3+) upon X-ray excitation. The optimum concentration of Eu~(3+) that produced the most intense emission in NaGdF_4 was found to be 15% molar concentration. The impact of the crystallographic phases (i.e. cubic or hexagonal) on the optical emission was investigated. Furthermore, an attempt to include a sensitizer (i.e Ce~(3+)) in NaGdF4:Eu resulted in a reduction in the emission following X-ray excitation. A surface coating of NaGdF4:Eu nanoparticles with a gold shell showed a similar decrease in luminescence intensity by a factor of two although the gold shell offers other advantages in biomedical applications.
