Molecular Theranostic Agents for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
摘要： Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful non-invasive diagnostic tool that can provide important insights for medical treatment monitoring and optimization. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a minimally invasive treatment for various types of tumors, is drawing increasing interest thanks to its temporal and spatial selectivity. The combination of MRI and PDT offers real-time monitoring of treatment and can give significant information for drug-uptake and light-delivery parameters optimization. In this review we will give an overview of molecular theranostic agents that have been designed for their potential application in MRI and PDT.

Intrinsic Defect-Assisted UV-Visible Energy Conversion in Gd <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> :Er Nanoparticles
摘要： The correlations between defectiveness and optical properties of Er-doped Gd2O3 nanoparticles coupled into cubic and monoclinic crystal structures were studied employing XPS and PL spectroscopies. The main focus of this research is paid to the cubic Gd2O3 phase, which is more suitable for light-emitting purposes. It is shown that oxygen-related point defects are the precursors for the formation of cationic irregulars – “defective” Gd3+ ions with local energy levels in the energy band gap of Gd2O3. Energy transfer from Gd3+ intrinsic defects to Er3+ dopants provides an additional channel for UV–visible radiation conversion. These Er3+ ions have bimodal distribution due to the non-equivalent lattice sites of “defective” Gd3+ ions. An increase of Er3+ concentration leads to the giant phonon softening effect, which opens up a new prospective way to enhance energy conversion efficiency.

Template-controlled on-surface synthesis of a lanthanide supernaphthalocyanine and its open-chain polycyanine counterpart
摘要： Phthalocyanines possess unique optical and electronic properties and thus are widely used in (opto)electronic devices, coatings, photodynamic therapy, etc. Extension of their π-electron systems could produce molecular materials with red-shifted absorption for a broader range of applications. However, access to expanded phthalocyanine analogues with more than four isoindoline units is challenging due to the limited synthetic possibilities. Here, we report the controlled on-surface synthesis of a gadolinium-supernaphthalocyanine macrocycle and its open-chain counterpart poly(benzodiiminoisoindoline) on a silver surface from a naphthalene dicarbonitrile precursor. Their formation is controlled by the on-surface high-dilution principle and steered by different metal templates, i.e., gadolinium atoms and the bare silver surface, which also act as oligomerization catalysts. By using scanning tunneling microscopy, photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, the chemical structures along with the mechanical and electronic properties of these phthalocyanine analogues with extended π-conjugation are investigated in detail.

Suppressing Vacancy Defects and Grain Boundaries via Ostwald Ripening for High‐Performance and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： As one kind of promising next-generation photovoltaic devices, perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) have experienced unprecedented rapid growth in device performance over the past few years. However, the practical applications of PVSCs require much improved device long-term stability and performance, and internal defects and external humidity sensitivity are two key limitation need to be overcome. Here, gadolinium fluoride (GdF3) is added into perovskite precursor as a redox shuttle and growth-assist; meanwhile, aminobutanol vapor is used for Ostwald ripening in the formation of the perovskite layer. Consequently, a high-quality perovskite film with large grain size and few grain boundaries is obtained, resulting in the reduction of trap state density and carrier recombination. As a result, a power conversion efficiency of 21.21% is achieved with superior stability and negligible hysteresis.

Highly Uniform Hollow GdF3 Ellipsoids: Controllable Synthesis, Characterization and Up-Conversion Luminescence Properties
摘要： In this paper, the hollow GdF3 ellipsoids were successfully synthesized through a facile hydrothermal approach. The results indicated that the as-obtained GdF3 sample has an orthorhombic structure and the average length and diameter of the hollow ellipsoids are 750 nm and 350 nm, respectively. The possible formation mechanism of the hollow GdF3 ellipsoids has been presented. The up-conversion (UC) luminescence properties of the hollow GdF3: Yb3+/Ln3+ (Ln3+ = Er3+, Tm3+, Ho3+) ellipsoids were systematically investigated, which showed green (Er3+, 4S3/2, 2H11/2 → 4I15/2), blue (Tm3+, 1G4 → 3H6), and green (Ho3+, 5S2 → 5I8) luminescence under 980 nm NIR excitation, respectively. Furthermore, the UC white light was successfully obtained in the GdF3: Yb3+/Er3+/Tm3+ sample through adjusting relative doping concentration of Yb3+, Er3+ and Tm3+ ions. These findings may reveal potential applications in the fields of laser, bioanalysis, optoelectronic and nanoscale devices due to multicolor emissions in the visible region.

The effects of gadolinium doping on the structural, morphological, optical, and photoluminescence properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared by co-precipitation method
摘要： Pure and gadolinium (Gd)-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method. The EDS analysis confirmed the presence of Gd3+ ions in ZnO lattice. The X-ray diffraction measurement indicated the formation of hexagonal wurtzite structure for both pure and Gd-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The structural parameters of nanoparticles such as lattice constant, crystallite size, dislocation density, micro strain and other lattice parameters were calculated from XRD data. FESEM images of nanoparticles showed that the grain morphology of nanoparticles tends to hexagonal form by introducing Gd3+ ions into the ZnO lattice. The presence of functional groups and chemical bonding attributed to ZnO was confirmed by FT-IR measurement. The optical properties of nanoparticles were investigated by UV–Vis spectroscopy. The UV–Vis absorbance spectra, for Gd-doped samples, illustrated a blue shift by increasing Gd concentration. Also, the band gap of nanoparticles increased by increasing Gd concentration. The photoluminescence spectra of Gd-doped nanoparticles showed that the intensity of green luminescence increases by substitution of Gd3+ ions into the ZnO lattice attributed to the oxygen vacancies.

O12 scintillator
摘要： The characteristics of a Gd3Al2Ga3O12 crystal scintillator doped with cerium and co-doped with magnesium and titanium have been studied, mainly in view of using it for the Phase II upgrade of the LHCb electromagnetic calorimeter. Samples of the scintillator were irradiated with γ (60Co) to 2 kGy and with 24 GeV protons to 900 kGy. The proton fluence value was ～3·1015 cm?2. It was found that γ-irradiation did not produce any change in the optical transmission of the crystals in the spectral range of the scintillation light, whereas a degradation after the proton irradiation was measurable. For the 1 cm thick sample, a loss of transmission of 3.6% was measured at the wavelength of maximum scintillation (520 nm), and the measured induced absorption coefficient at this wavelength was ～3.6 m?1. The formation of radioisotopes in the crystal at proton irradiation has been analyzed. The formation of isotopes was also simulated with the help of the FLUKA package. The simulation was found to be in a good agreement with experimental results. The results have been used to estimate the expected intensity of parasitic radio-luminescence at high-luminosity operation in a GAGG/W sampling electromagnetic calorimeter.

Mesoporous silica modified luminescent Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles: physicochemical and luminescence properties
摘要： Highly colloidal Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles (core-NPs) were synthesized by thermal decomposition via weak base at low temperature. The sol–gel chemical process was employed for silica layer surface coating to increase solubility, colloidal stability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity at the ambient conditions. XRD results indicate the highly puri?ed, crystalline, single phase, and cubic phase Gd2O3 nanocrystals. TEM image shows that the mesoporous thick silica layer was effectively coated on the core nanocrystals, which have irregular size with nearly spherical shape and grain size about 10–30 nm. An absorption spectra and zeta potential results in aqueous media revealed that solubility, colloidal stability, and biocompatibility character were enhanced from core to core–shell structure because of silica layer surface encapsulation. The samples, demonstrated excellent photoluminescence properties (dominant emission 5D0 → 7F2 transition in the red region at 610 nm), indicated to be used in optical bio-detection, bio-labeling, etc. The photoluminescence intensity of the silica shell modi?ed core/shell NPs was suppressed relatively core-NPs; it indicates the multi-photon relaxation pathways arising from the surface coated high vibrational energy molecules of the silanol groups. The core/nSiO2/mSiO2 nanocrystals display strong emission (5D0 → 7F2) transition along with excellent solubility and biocompatibility, which may ?nd promising applications in the photonic based biomedical ?eld.

Spin–Lattice Relaxation and Diffusion Processes in Aqueous Solutions of Gadolinium-Based Upconverting Nanoparticles at Different Magnetic Fields
摘要： We investigated the influence of gadolinium (Gd)-based upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) on water spin–lattice relaxation (T1) and diffusion at different magnetic field strengths (0.4 T and 9.4 T). Our findings show that smaller NPs (12 nm compared to 19 nm) were more favourable for proton relaxivity. We also demonstrate that using simplified Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan (SBM) model we can associate two measured diffusion coefficients with processes occurring near the surface of UCNPs and in bulk water. Using the relationship between relaxation and diffusion, we can estimate not only the total impact of NPs on relaxation of water molecules, but also the impact on relaxation of local water molecules, directly connected to paramagnetic Gd3+ ions in NPs. Different magnetic field strengths did not alter the spin–lattice relaxivity of NPs. This suggests that Gd-based UCNPs could be developed into high-performance multimodal magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents working over a broad range of imaging field strengths used in clinical routine.

Photocatalytic activity of gadolinium doped TiO <sub/>2</sub> particles for decreasing heavy metal chromium (VI) concentration
摘要： Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is among the most potential photocatalyst. However, TiO2 only works under UV light due to the relatively wide band gap energy. To overcome this, TiO2 is infiltrated (doped) by rare earth elements such as gadolinium (Gd). TiO2 was synthesized using sol gel method, while Gd/TiO2 photocatalyst was synthesized by the mixing methods of sol-gel and impregnation. The crystals are then characterized using XRD and SEM-EDX. The XRD diffractogram demonstrated that the crystallinity synthesized of TiO2 had an anatase structure similar to the structure of anatase P-25 as references. The SEM-EDX showed that Gd ion could not enter the crystal lattice, but only dispersed on the surface of TiO2 particles. The optimum result of decreased Cr(VI) concentration was reported using Gd/TiO2 1% w/w by a decrease of up to 94%, after irradiated with ultraviolet for one hour.
