Enabling Photon Upconversion and Precise Control of Donor–Acceptor Interaction through Interfacial Energy Transfer

Upconverting materials have achieved great progress in recent years, however, it remains challenging for the mechanistic research on new upconversion strategy of lanthanides. Here, a novel and efficient strategy to realize photon upconversion from more lanthanides and fine control of lanthanide donor-acceptor interactions through using the interfacial energy transfer (IET) is reported. Unlike c...

Luminescence and energy transfer in

Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG) doped with Ce 3+ is a promising scintillator material with a high density and a fast response time. The light output under x-ray or γ-ray excitation is however well below the theoretical limit. In this paper the influence of co-doping with Tb is investigated with the aim to increase the light output. For singly doped LuAG (with Ce or Tb) high resolution spectra are reported giv...

Photon Upconversion Through Tb(3+) -Mediated Interfacial Energy Transfer.

A strategy of interfacial energy transfer upconversion is demonstrated through the use of a terbium (Tb(3+) ) dopant as energy donor or energy migrator in core-shell-structured nanocrystals. This mechanistic investigation presents a new pathway for photon upconversion, and, more importantly, contributes to the better control of energy transfer at the nanometer length scale.

Luminescence resonance energy transfer measurements in myosin.

Myosin is thought to generate force by a rotation between the relative orientations of two domains. Direct measurements of distances between the domains could potentially confirm and quantify these conformational changes, but efforts have been hampered by the large distances involved. Here we show that luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET), which uses a luminescent lanthanide as the ene...
