Abstract
Novel Yb,Tb,Nd-doped GdF3 and NaGdF4 nanoparticles were synthesized by a coprecipitation method in ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of the poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic anhydride) stabilizer. The particle size and morphology, crystal structure, and phase change were controlled by adjusting the PSSMA concentration and source of fluoride anions in the reaction. Doping of Yb3+, Tb3+, and Nd3+ ions in the NaGdF4 host nanoparticles induced luminescence under ultraviolet and near-infrared excitation and high relaxivity in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI). In vitro toxicity of the nanoparticles and their cellular uptake efficiency were determined in model rat pancreatic β-cells (INS-1E). As the NaGdF4:Yb,Tb,Nd@PSSMA-EG nanoparticles were non-toxic and possessed good luminescence and magnetic properties, they were applicable for in vitro optical and MRI of isolated pancreatic islets in phantoms. The superior contrast was achieved for in vivo T2*-weighted MR images of the islets transplanted under the kidney capsule to mice in preclinical trials.

Abstract
Multimodal gadolinium fluoride nanoparticles belong to potential contrast agents useful for bimodal optical fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging. However, the metallic nature of the nanoparticles, similarly to some paramagnetic iron oxides, might induce allergic and anaphylactic reactions in patients after administration. A reduction of these adverse side effects is a priority for the safe application of the nanoparticles. Herein, we prepared paramagnetic poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSMA)-stabilized GdF3 nanoparticles with surface modified by Atto 488-labeled poly(styrene-grad-2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate)-block-poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate) (PSDA-A488) with reactive amino groups for introduction of an additional imaging (luminescence) modality and possible targeting of anticancer drugs. The saturation magnetization of GdF3@PSSMA particles according to SQUID magnetometry reached 157 Am2 kg-1 at 2 K and magnetic field of 7 T. GdF3@PSSMA-PSDA-A488 nanoparticles were well tolerated by human cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa), mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC), and rat basophilic mast cells (RBL-2H3); the particles also affected cell morphology and protein tyrosine phosphorylation in mast cells. Moreover, the nanoparticles interfered with the activation of mast cells by multivalent antigens and inhibited calcium mobilization and cell degranulation. These findings show that the new multimodal GdF3-based nanoparticles possess properties useful for various imaging methods and might minimize mast cell degranulation incurred after future nanoparticle diagnostic administration.

Abstract
Due to the high atomic number of lutetium and the low phonon energy of the fluoride matrix, Lu-based fluoride nanoparticles doped with active lanthanide ions are potential candidates as bioprobes in both X-ray computed tomography and luminescent imaging. This paper shows a method for the fabrication of uniform, water-dispersible Eu3+:(H3O)Lu3F10 nanoparticles doped with different Eu contents. Their luminescent properties were studied by means of excitation and emission spectra as well as decay curves. The X-ray attenuation capacity of the phosphor showing the highest emission intensity was subsequently analyzed and compared with a commercial contrast agent. The results indicated that the 10% Eu3+-doped (H3O)Lu3F10 nanoparticles fabricated with the proposed polyol-based method are good candidates to be used as dual probes for luminescent imaging and X-ray computed tomography.

Abstract
Bifunctional and highly uniform Ln:BaGdF5 (Ln = Eu(3+) and Nd(3+)) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using a solvothermal method consisting of the aging at 120 °C of a glycerol solution containing the corresponding Lanthanide acetylacetonates and butylmethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate. The absence of any surfactant in the synthesis process rendered hydrophilic nanospheres (with tunable diameter from 45 nm 85 nm, depending on the cations concentration of the starting solution) which are suitable for bioapplications. The particles are bifunctional because they showed both optical and magnetic properties due to the presence of the optically active lanthanides (Eu(3+) in the visible and Nd(3+) in the NIR regions of the electromagnetic spectrum) and the paramagnetic gadolinium ion, respectively. The luminescence decay curves of the nanospheres doped with different amounts of Eu(3+) and Nd(3+) have been recorded in order to determine the optimum dopant concentration in each case, which turned out to be 5% Eu(3+) and 0.5% Nd(3+). Likewise, proton relaxation times were measured at 1.5 T in water suspensions of the optimum particles found in the luminescence study. The values obtained suggested that both kinds of particles could be used as positive contrast agents for MRI. Finally, it was demonstrated that both the 5% Eu(3+) and 0.5% Nd(3+)-doped BaGdF5 nanospheres showed negligible cytotoxicity for VERO cells for concentrations up to 0.25 mg mL(-1).

Abstract
Transparent glass-ceramic containing rare-earth doped halide nanocrystals exhibits enhanced luminescence performance. In this study, a glass-ceramic with Tb doped gadolinium fluoride nanocrystals embedded in an aluminosilicate glass matrix is investigated for X-ray imaging applications. The nanocrystalline glass-ceramic scintillator was prepared by a melt-quench method followed by an anneal. The GdF3:Tb nanocrystals precipitated within the oxide glass matrix during the processing and their luminescence and scintillation properties were investigated. In this nanocomposite scintillator system, the incorporation of high atomic number Gd compound into the glass matrix increases the X-ray stopping power of the glass scintillator, and effective energy transfer between Gd3+ and Tb3+ ions in the nanocrystals enhances the scintillation efficiency.

Abstract
Zinc oxide is synthesised at low temperature (80°C) in nanosheet geometry using a substrate-free, single-step, wet-chemical method and is found to act as a blue-white fluorophore. Investigation by atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction confirms zinc oxide material of nanosheet morphology where the individual nanosheets are polycrystalline in nature with the crystalline structure being of wurtzite character. Raman spectroscopy indicates the presence of various defects, while photoluminescence measurements show intense green (centre wavelength approximately 515 nm) blue (approximately 450 nm), and less dominant red (approximately 640 nm) emissions due to a variety of vacancy and interstitial defects, mostly associated with surfaces or grain boundaries. The resulting colour coordinate on the CIE-1931 standard is (0.23, 0.33), demonstrating potential for use as a blue-white fluorescent coating in conjunction with ultraviolet emitting LEDs. Although the defects are often treated as draw-backs of ZnO, here we demonstrate useful broadband visible fluorescence properties in as-prepared ZnO.
