Preparation from the aqueous alkoxide route of doped and co-doped lithium niobate nanocrystals with Er3+ Yb3+ ions, detailed investigations their optical properties are presented in this comprehensive work. Simultaneous emission under femtosecond laser excitation second harmonic generation (SHG) up-conversion photoluminescence (UC-PL) is studied colloidal suspensions according to lanthanide ion contents. Special attention has been paid produce phase pure constant size (∼20 nm) thus allowing...
Synthesis and characterization of anhydrous LiZn(IO3)3 powders prepared from an aqueous solution are reported. Morphological compositional analyses were carried out by using scanning electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray measurements. The synthesized exhibited a needle-like morphology after annealing at 400 °C. A crystal structure for the compound was proposed powder diffraction density-functional theory calculations. Rietveld refinements led to monoclinic structure, which can be...
Phase-pure, highly crystalline sub-50 nm LiNbO3 nanocrystals were prepared from a non-aqueous solvothermal process for 72 h at 230 °C and commercial precursor solution of mixed lithium niobium ethoxide in its parent alcohol.

Abstract The exact molecular reaction pathway and crystallization mechanisms of LiNbO 3 nanoparticles under solvothermal conditions are derived through extensive time‐ temperature‐resolved experiments allowing to track all the transient solid species. Starting with a simple mixing Li/Nb ethoxides, water addition is used promote condensation after ligand exchange different co‐solvents including alcohols glycols variable carbon‐chain length. A nonclassical nucleation scheme first demonstrated...
Hybrid nanoparticles composed of an efficient nonlinear optical core and a gold shell can enhance tune the emission thanks to plasmonic effect. However influence incomplete shell, i.e., isolated nano-islands, is still not well studied. Here LiNbO3 (LN) 45 nm were coated with various densities nano-seeds (AuSeeds). As both LN AuSeeds bear negative surface charge, positively-charged polymer was first onto LN. The number chains per evaluated at 1210 by XPS confirmed fluorescence titration....
A reel-to reel MOCVD system has been developed for a fast and economic process to get high quality YBCO coated conductor tapes. Several oxides buffer layer sequences (based on YSZ, CeO/sub 2/, Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/...) were then grown epitaxially two kinds of tape.

Hyper‐Rayleigh scattering measurements combined with X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light first used to probe the crystallization kinetics nanorods water‐in‐oil prepared as oil...
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have the potential for increasing efficiency of chemotherapeutics by enhancing accumulation at specific target sites, thereby reducing adverse side effects and mitigating patient acquired resistance. In particular, photo-responsive nanomaterials attracted much interest due to their ability release molecular cargos on demand upon light irradiation. some settings, they can also provide complementary information optical imaging (sub)cellular scale. We...
Abstract Nanoparticles (NPs) containing a lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 ) core and gold shell are prepared using combination of seeded‐growth layer‐by‐layer approaches. The method includes first the surface charge reversal with branched polyethyleimine, second, electrostatic binding seeds, third, successive reduction steps chloride onto gold‐seeded LiNbO NPs for progressive surface‐directed growth shell. influence three synthesis parameters, namely, pH, initial density seeds covering core,...
Preparation of stable BiFeO 3 nanocrystal suspensions through a simple, low-cost precipitation technique is described. Amorphous precursors are first precipitated from metal nitrate salts in highly basic KOH solutions, and short high-temperature annealing step then performed to induce crystallization. Nanoparticles characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), TEM, DLS ζ -potential measurements, the synthesis conditions optimized after systematic variation concentration within range 1–12 M. The...

Lithium niobate nanoparticles (LN NPs) coated with a raspberry-like gold (Au) shell are synthesized herein. The strong plasmon resonance coupling between Au NPs in raspberry nanostructures is expected to modify the surface and cavity optical fields thus significantly alter second harmonic (SH) signal generated by noncentrosymmetric crystalline core of LN. Plasmonic properties core–shell first modeled using discrete-dipole approximation method. influence size filling fraction on extinction...
