Over the past decade, high-quality, rare earth-doped upconversion nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized with the rapid development of nanotechnology. The synthesis methods are usually phase-based processes, such as thermal decomposition, hydrothermal reaction, and ionic liquids-based synthesis. At present, the low luminescence efficiency is one of the main limiting factors. Many efforts are focused on improving absorption efficiency of these systems by different strategies, by using "antenna" molecules, changing host matrix or doping materials, and synthetizing new core-shell…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Over the past decade, high-quality, rare earth-doped upconversion nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized with the rapid development of nanotechnology. The synthesis methods are usually phase-based processes, such as thermal decomposition, hydrothermal reaction, and ionic liquids-based synthesis. At present, the low luminescence efficiency is one of the main limiting factors. Many efforts are focused on improving absorption efficiency of these systems by different strategies, by using "antenna" molecules, changing host matrix or doping materials, and synthetizing new core-shell systems. This book provides a fundamental understanding of the mechanics and materials, with particular attention to the design, synthesis and functionalization of upconverting nanoparticles and their applications in different fields of research.
Autorenporträt
Claudia Altavilla graduated in chemistry (cum laude) in 2001 and earned her PhD in chemistry in 2006 from the University of Catania, Italy. She worked as a visiting scientist at Ludwig Maximillians Universitat of Munich, Germany with Professor Wolfgang Parak and at the University of Florence, Italy with Professor Dante Gatteschi. From 2006 to 2013, she worked as a research fellow at the NANOMATES Centre of the University of Salerno, Italy. Currently, she is a research fellow at the CNR-IPCB (Institute for Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials), in Portici, Naples, Italy. Her research interests include: biopolymers, upconverting, magnetic, and 2D graphene-like materials for applications in materials science, civil engineering, lubricants, sensors, and biomedicine. She is a referee for international journals on materials science and nanotechnology. Dr. Altavilla is the author of several papers and monographs and holds two international patents. She is also the editor of Inorganic Nanoparticles: Synthesis Applications and Perspectives, CRC, November 2012.
