• three preferential directions 60° apart from another. The magnetic properties and the luminescence of the nanochains can be detected without the need of surface-dedicated instrumentation. The intermediate value of the observed luminescence lifetime of the deposits (132 µs) compared to that of the bulk

• the deposits, which tentatively allows for the determination of their mass. Additionally, strong TbIII luminescence is detected. The luminescence lifetime measured for [Tb(hfac)3·2H2O]n@mica is smaller than that of bulk [Tb(hfac)3·2H2O]n but larger than that of a diluted solution of [Tb(hfac)3·2H2O]n

Keywords: CdSe; luminescence lifetime; nanocomposites; nanorods; quantum yield; Introduction Semiconductor nanoparticles have attracted great interest in recent years because of their fascinating optical properties. Their emission wavelength can be tuned directly by changing their size and shape as a

Luminescence lifetime measurements revealed that dispersion of the nanorods in either PLMA or CTA did not influence the lifetime (Figure 11). Mono-exponential fits
