Tb-doped La Tb F nanoparticles were prepared by a simple and reproducible microwave-assisted synthetic protocol in water. The nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, TEM, dynamic light scattering and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy elemental analysis. Eleven ligands with varying coordination and photosensitizing abilities were designed to bind at the surface of the Tb-doped nanoparticles. The photosensitizing behavior was monitored by electronic absorption spectroscopy and steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy. The two most effective photosensitizing ligands were used to isolate and purify the capped nanoparticles. The composition and spectroscopic properties of these nanoparticles were measured, which revealed either 2660 and 5240 ligands per nanoparticle, molar absorptivities of 7.6×10 and 1.6×10 m cm and luminescence quantum yields of 0.29 and 0.13 in water, respectively. These data correspond to exceptional brightness values of 2.2×10 and 2.1×10 m cm , respectively. The as-prepared nanoparticles were imaged in HeLa cells by fluorescence microscopy, which showed their specific localization in lysosomes.

A series of Tb-doped LaF nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared by systematically varying the Tb doping rate from 0 to 100%. The elemental composition was confirmed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) analysis, and the size, morphology, and crystal structure were determined in the solid state by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry, while the size and ζ-potential of the NPs in solution were studied by dynamic light scattering, Taylor dispersion analysis, and laser Doppler electrophoresis. While the crystal structure appears to be hexagonal for a doping rate of up to 70%, an admixture of hexagonal and orthorhombic phases is observed for 80 and 90% Tb contents with a pure orthorhombic phase being obtained for TbF.

An exciting prospect in the field of magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) has been the integration of noble rare earth elements with biopolymers (chitosan/dextran) that have optimum structures to tune specific effects on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Remarkably, it has been demonstrated that dipole-dipole interactions have a significant influence on nanoparticle dynamics. In this article, we present an exhaustive scrutiny of dipolar interactions and how this affects the efficiency of MFH applications.

Pemetrexed is an antineoplastic drug used in chemotherapeutic treatments, especially in malignant mesothelioma and non-small cell lung carcinoma, but can also cause a variety of complications, like stomach pain, nausea, burning, vomiting, numbness, and tingling, emphasizing the need for an approach to quantify the drug in biological matrices. Herein, a DNA-based biosensor was introduced for pemetrexed determination. A hydrothermal approach was used for synthesizing flower-like nanoparticles (NPs) of zinc oxide (ZnO) doped with Tb (FL-NP Tb/ZnO).
