The Influence of Medium on Fluorescence Quenching of Colloidal Solutions of the Nd: LaF Nanoparticles Prepared with HTMW Treatment.

An original method was proposed to reduce the quenching of the NIR fluorescence of colloidal solutions of 0.1 at. % Nd: LaF nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by aqueous co-precipitation method followed by hydrothermal microwave treatment.
