New luminescent nanoparticles with adjustable emission properties were synthesized via a hydrothermal method to investigate the effect of Ce concentration on the tuneable emission properties of Yb/Ho co-doped gadolinium borates. The synthesized samples' comprehensive structural and morphological analysis was conducted utilizing X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. To obtain highly crystalline nanoparticles GdBO:Yb/Ho/Ce characterized by intense and bright emission, they were annealed at 525 °C and 925 °C. Under the excitation of 972 nm, the tunable yellow to green up-conversion (UC) emission was observed, while the Ce concentration increased. This change correlated with a difference in the correlated color temperature from 4345 K to 5442 K, respectively. The untypical changes observed in the red-to-green (R/G) ratio, displaying a declining trend contrary to conventional expectations, allowed for the proposed mechanism for understanding their UC luminescence properties. The results obtained indicate that the Ce doped GdBO:Yb/Ho nanoparticles demonstrate high application potential for anti-counterfeiting.

The high potential of non-covalent arene-fluoroarene intermolecular interactions in the design of liquid crystals lies in their ability to strongly promote self-assembly, improve the order and stability of the supramolecular mesophases, and enable tuneability of the optical and electronic properties, which can potentially be exploited for advanced applications in display technologies, photonic devices, sensors, and organic electronics. We recently successfully reported the straightforward synthesis of several mesogens containing four lateral aliphatic chains and derived from the classical triphenylene core self-assembling in columnar mesophases based on this paradigm. These mesogenic compounds were simply obtained in good yields by the nucleophilic substitution (SFAr) of various types of commercially available fluoroarenes with the electrophilic organolithium derivatives 2,2'-dilithio-4,4',5,5'-tetraalkoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (2Li- ).

Herein, we report the high-temperature solid-state synthesis and intriguing optical features of Bi3+/Ln3+ doped Ca2YTi2Ga3O12 (CYT). The optical properties of CYT were fine-tuned by judiciously substituting Zr4+ ions at Ti4+ sites and Bi3+, Ln3+ ions at Y3+ sites. All these compounds are crystallized in a cubic crystal system with an Ia-3d (no.

Article Synopsis
- Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are useful in biomedicine due to their stability, tunability, and low toxicity, but their small size can limit brightness due to surface quenching.
- A new strategy uses sulforhodamine B (SRB) dye to enhance energy transfer efficiency, resulting in up to 98.8% efficiency and a significant increase in SRB emission.
- Further improvements included adding a pH-responsive dye to create a specialized sensor for protons, making the UCNPs suitable for advanced biomedical sensing and imaging.

Solution-processed gain media have great technological potential as lasers due to their ease of integration with on-chip photonics, scalability and tuneable optoelectronic properties. Currently, the spectral coverage of solution-processed lasers extends from visible up to telecom wavelengths in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) (<1650 nm). Here, the optical gain in the extended SWIR from 1600 nm to 2500 nm is demonstrated, using PbSbased colloidal quantum dots (CQDs).
