Abstract

This thesis work presents the synthesis and characterization of lanthanide doped Calcium fluoride or Strontium fluoride nanoparticles, architected to achieve long luminescence lifetimes, upconversion properties or thermometric properties. The presentes nano-systems proved to be potentially useful as probes for optical imaging and as nanothermometers to monitor a photothermal cancer treatment.
