Abstract:
Size control: Particles designed for imaging and therapy need to be size tunable to ensure their optimal performance. A highly reproducible procedure for the preparation of uniform, spherical, lanthanide-based nanoparticles (NPs) was developed. The size of the particles can be predefined to an accuracy of up to a few nanometers by microwave-generated temperature control and the choice of aging time (see figure).
