Structural and Optical Characterization of Silica Nanospheres Embedded with Monodisperse CeO<sub>2</sub>-Eu<sup>3+</sup> Nanocrystals

Luminescent nanocrystals embedded into silica microspheres were shown to be useful for silica labeling for biological applications, ensuring mechanical and chemical stability, nontoxicity, biocompatibility and optical properties. We used sol–gel technology to prepare silica nanospheres embedded with...
