Abstract
Rare-earth doped nanoparticles (RENPs) are attracting increasing interest in materials science due to their optical, magnetic, and chemical properties. RENPs can emit and absorb radiation in the second biological window (NIR-II, 1000-1400 nm) making them ideal optical probes for photoluminescence (PL) in vivo imaging. Their narrow emission bands and long PL lifetimes enable autofluorescence-free multiplexed imaging. Furthermore, the strong temperature dependence of the PL properties of some of these RENPs makes remote thermal imaging possible. This is the case of neodymium and ytterbium co-doped NPs that have been used as thermal reporters for in vivo diagnosis of, for instance, inflammatory processes. However, the lack of knowledge about how the chemical composition and architecture of these NPs influence their thermal sensitivity impedes further optimization. To shed light on this, we have systematically studied their emission intensity, PL decay time curves, absolute PL quantum yield, and thermal sensitivity as a function of the core chemical composition and size, active-shell, and outer-inert-shell thicknesses. The results revealed the crucial contribution of each of these factors in optimizing the NP thermal sensitivity. An optimal active shell thickness of around 2 nm and an outer inert shell of 3.5 nm maximize the PL lifetime and the thermal response of the NPs due to the competition between the temperature-dependent back energy transfer, the surface quenching effects, and the confinement of active ions in a thin layer. These findings pave the way for a rational design of RENPs with optimal thermal sensitivity.

Abstract
Among luminescent nanostructures actively investigated in the last couple of decades, rare earth (RE3+) doped nanoparticles (RENPs) are some of the most reported family of materials. The development of RENPs in the biomedical framework is quickly making its transition to the ∼800 nm excitation pathway, beneficial for both in vitro and in vivo applications to eliminate heating and facilitate higher penetration in tissues. Therefore, reports and investigations on RENPs containing the neodymium ion (Nd3+) greatly increased in number as the focus on ∼800 nm radiation absorbing Nd3+ ion gained traction. In this review, we cover the basics behind the RE3+ luminescence, the most successful Nd3+-RENP architectures, and highlight application areas. Nd3+-RENPs, particularly Nd3+-sensitized RENPs, have been scrutinized by considering the division between their upconversion and downshifting emissions. Aside from their distinctive optical properties, significant attention is paid to the diverse applications of Nd3+-RENPs, notwithstanding the pitfalls that are still to be addressed. Overall, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview on Nd3+-RENPs, discussing their developmental and applicative successes as well as challenges. We also assess future research pathways and foreseeable obstacles ahead, in a field, which we believe will continue witnessing an effervescent progress in the years to come.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging technology (NIR-I region, 650-950 nm and NIR-II region, 1000-1700 nm), with deeper tissue penetration and less disturbance from auto-fluorescence than that in visible region (400-650 nm), is playing a more and more extensive role in the field of biomedical imaging. With the development of precise medicine, intelligent NIR fluorescent probes have been meticulously designed to provide more sensitive, specific and accurate feedback on detection. Especially, recently developed ratiometric fluorescent probes have been devoted to quantify physiological and pathological parameters with a combination of responsive fluorescence changes and self-calibration. Herein, we systemically introduced the construction strategies of NIR ratiometric fluorescent probes and their applications in biological imagingin vivo, such as molecular detection, pH and temperature measurement, drug delivery monitoring and treatment evaluation. We further summarized possible optimization on the design of ratiometric probes for quantitative analysis with NIR fluorescence, and prospected the broader optical applications of ratiometric probes in life science and clinical translation.

Stable Aqueous Colloidal Solutions of Nd 3+: LaF 3 Nanoparticles, Promising for Luminescent Bioimaging in the Near-Infrared Spectral Range. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11112847.

Abstract
Two series of stable aqueous colloidal solutions of Nd3+: LaF3 single-phase well-crystallized nanoparticles (NPs), possessing a fluorcerite structure with different activator concentrations in each series, were synthesized. A hydrothermal method involving microwave-assisted heating (HTMW) in two Berghof speedwave devices equipped with one magnetron (type I) or two magnetrons (type II) was used. The average sizes of NPs are 15.4 ± 6 nm (type I) and 21 ± 7 nm (type II). Both types of NPs have a size distribution that is well described by a double Gaussian function. The fluorescence kinetics of the 4F3/2 level of the Nd3+ ion for NPs of both types, in contrast to a similar bulk crystal, demonstrates a luminescence quenching associated not only with Nd-Nd self-quenching, but also with an additional Nd-OH quenching. A method has been developed for determining the spontaneous radiative lifetime of the excited state of a dopant ion, with the significant contribution of the luminescence quenching caused by the presence of the impurity OH- acceptors located in the bulk of NPs. The relative quantum yield of fluorescence and the fluorescence brightness of an aqueous colloidal solution of type II NPs with an optimal concentration of Nd3+ are only 2.5 times lower than those of analogous Nd3+: LaF3 single crystals.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-mediated thermal treatments have demonstrated high efficacy and versatility as a local anticancer strategy beyond traditional global hyperthermia. Nanoparticles act as heating generators that can trigger therapeutic responses at both the cell and tissue level. In some cases, treatment happens in the absence of a global temperature rise, damaging the tumor cells even more selectively than other nanotherapeutic strategies. The precise determination of the local temperature in the vicinity of such nanoheaters then stands at the heart of thermal approaches to better adjust the therapeutic thermal onset and reduce potential toxicity-related aspects. Herein, we describe an experimental procedure by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which directly and accurately infers the local temperature of gold-based nanoparticles, single and hybrid nanocrystals, upon laser photoexcitation, revealing significant nanothermal gradients. Such nanothermometric methodology based on the temperature-dependency of atomic parameters of nanoparticles can be extended to any nanosystem upon remote hyperthermal conditions.

Abstract
Optical thermal sensing holds great promise for disease theranostics. However, traditional ratiometric thermometry methods, in which intensity ratio of two nonoverlapping emissions is defined as the thermosensitive parameter, may have a limited accuracy in temperature read-out due to the deleterious interference from wavelength- and temperature-dependent photon attenuation in tissue. To overcome this limitation, a dual-excitation decoding strategy based on NIR hybrid nanocomposites comprising self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) and Nd3+ doped fluoride nanocrystals (NCs) is proposed for thermal sensing. Upon excitation at 808 nm, the intensity ratio of two emissions at identical wavelength (1057 nm) from QDs and NCs, respectively, is defined as the thermometric parameter R. By employing another 830 nm laser beam following the same optical path as 808 nm laser to exclusively excite QDs, the two overlapping emissions can be easily decoded. The acquired R proves to be inert to the detection depth in tissue, with a minimized temperature reading error of ≈2.3 °C at 35 °C (at a depth of ≈1.1 mm), while the traditional thermometry mode based on the nonoverlapping 1025 and 863 nm emissions may exhibit a large error of ≈43.0 °C. The insights provided by this work pave the way toward high-accuracy deep-tissue biosensing.

Abstract
Neodymium (Nd3+ )-sensitized nanoconstructs have gained increasing attention in recent decades due to their unique properties, especially optical properties. The design of various Nd3+ -sensitized nanosystems is expected to contribute to medical and health applications, due to their advantageous properties such as high penetration depth, excellent photostability, non-photobleaching, low cytotoxicity, etc. However, the low conversion efficiency and potential long-term toxicity of Nd3+ -sensitized nanoconstructs are huge obstacles to their clinical translations. This review article summarizes three energy transfer pathways of all kinds of Nd3+ -sensitized nanoconstructs focusing on the properties of Nd3+ ions and discusses their recent potential applications as near-infrared (NIR) enabled photomedicine. This review article will contribute to the design and fabrication of novel Nd3+ -sensitized nanoconstructs for NIR-enabled photomedicine, aiming for potentially safer and more efficient designs to get closer to clinical usage.

Abstract
Achieving a combination of real-time diagnosis and therapy in a single platform with sensitive thermometry and efficient heat production is a crucial step towards controllable photothermal therapy. Here, Nd3+-doped Y2O3 nanoparticles prepared using the combined Pechini-foaming technique operating in the first and second biological windows were demonstrated as thermal sensors within the wide temperature range of 123-873 K, and as heaters with a temperature increase of 100 K. Thermal sensing was performed based on various approaches: luminescence intensity ratio (electronic levels; Stark sublevels), spectral line position and line bandwidth were used as temperature-dependent parameters. The applicability of these sensing parameters, along with relative thermal sensitivity and temperature resolution, are discussed and compared. The influence of Nd3+-doping concentration on thermometer and heater efficiency was also investigated.

Abstract
Remotely monitoring and regulating temperature in a small area are of vital importance for hyperthermia therapy. Herein, we report ~11 nm NaErF4 nanocrystal as the ultra-small nanoheater, which is highly safe for biological applications. Under 1530 nm photon excitation, upconversion intensity of NaErF4 is significantly enhanced as compared to the conventionally used 980 nm pumping source. Upconversion mechanisms are discussed on the basis of power dependence measurements. Importantly, light-to-heat transformation efficiency of NaErF4 through 1530 nm pumping is determined as high as 75%. Efficient NIR emission, centered at ~800 nm and thus within the biological window, is used for the temperature feedback. The potential applications of this highly efficient nanoheater for controlled photo-hyperthermia treatments are also demonstrated.

Abstract
To improve methods of laser hyperthermia for the treatment of bulk malignant neoplasms, an urgent task is the development of techniques and devices that automatically control heating at a given tissue depth and ensure its uniformity. The article proposes the concept of a system for performing hyperthermia with real-time spectroscopic temperature control and surface cooling, which allows to record spectra of diffusely scattered radiation and fluorescent signal from various depths of biological tissues by the means of the variation of the angle and distance between the fiber source of laser radiation and the receiving fiber. Theoretical and experimental modeling of the spatial distribution of diffusely scattered radiation and temperature inside the tissue with a fiber optic device providing surface cooling of the irradiated tissue, and recording spectral information from a given depth in real time, is presented. Simulation of radiation propagation in biological tissues, depending on the distance between the source and the receiver and the angle of their tilt, was carried out using the Monte Carlo method. Modeling of the temperature distribution inside the tissues was carried out by means of a numerical solution of the heat conduction equation. Experimental modeling was carried out on phantoms of biological tissues simulating their scattering properties as well as accumulation of the investigated nanoparticles doped with Nd3+ ions. It was shown that inorganic nanoparticles doped with rare-earth Nd3+ ions can be used as temperature labels for feedback to the therapeutic laser. According to the results of the theoretical simulation, optimal configurations of the relative arrangement of the fibers were chosen, as well as the optimum surface cooling temperatures for the given power densities. The heating of the phantom of the neoplasm containing the investigated nanoparticles doped with Nd3+ ions by laser radiation with an 805-nm wavelength and power density of 1 W/cm2 up to 42 °C at a depth of 1 cm while maintaining the surface temperature within the limits of the norm was demonstrated.

Abstract
The use of infrared-emitting rare-earth-doped luminescent nanoparticles as nanothermometers has attracted great attention during the last few years. The scientific community has identified rare-earth-doped luminescent nanoparticles as one of the most sensitive and versatile systems for contactless local temperature sensing in a great variety of fields, but especially in nanomedicine. Researchers are nowadays focused on the design and development of multifunctional nanothermometers with new spectral operation ranges, outstanding brightness, and enhanced sensitivities. However, no attention has been paid to the assessment of the actual reliability of the measurements provided by rare-earth-doped luminescent nanothermometers. In fact, it is assumed that they are ideal temperature sensors. Nevertheless, this is far from being true. In this work we demonstrate that the emission spectra of rare-earth-doped nanothermometers can be affected by numerous environmental and experimental factors. These include the numerical aperture of the optical elements used for their optical excitation and luminescence collection, the local concentration of nanothermometers, optical length variations, self-absorption of the luminescence by the nanothermometers themselves, and solvent optical absorption. This work concludes that rare-earth-doped luminescent nanothermometers are not as reliable as thought and, consequently, special care has to be taken when extracting temperature estimations from the variation of their emission spectra.

Abstract
Fluorescence-based nanothermometers have potential to offer accuracy in the measurement of temperature using non-contact approaches. Herein, a C-dot/C-dot based dual-emission temperature sensing platform is fabricated through the electrostatic self-assembly of two kinds of fluorescent CDs with opposite charges. This dual-emission platform consists of several nearly-spherical CDs with two emission centers in blue (440 nm) and orange (590 nm) regions. The orange fluorescence exhibits discernible response to external temperatures in the range of ∼15 to 85 °C; on the other hand, the blue fluorescence remains nearly constant. A continuous fluorescence color change in response to temperature from orange to blue can be clearly observed by the naked eye. Thus, the as-prepared C-dot based dual-emission nanospheres can be used for optical thermometry with high reproducibility and sensitivity (0.93%/°C). Detailed characterization shows that temperature (in the 15-85 °C window) impacts the surface states of orange emissive CDs, leaving the blue emissive CDs unaffected. A model is proposed to explain the observations. Finally, by taking advantage of the excellent biocompatibility and stability, the CD based fluorescent nanothermometer is successfully used for the visual measurement of intracellular temperature variations.

Abstract
Laser hyperthermia is one of the promising methods for treatment of oncological diseases. For routine clinical use of hyperthermia, it is necessary to control the uniformity and localization of heat within the tumor. Local heating can be achieved by using special thermal agents, such as nanoparticles doped with rare-earth ions. Measurement of the temperature of the thermal agents will allow timely regulation of the applied laser radiation excitation power and optimization of the hyperthermia process.The paper presents the results of a study on the non-invasive determination of the YPO4 nanoparticles doped with Nd3+ temperature with sensitivity of 0.2% °С-1 in 30-60°С temperature range. The temperature of the nanoparticles was calculated from the Nd3+ luminescence spectra in the 800-1000 nm range under excitation into 4F5/2 energy state by 805 nm laser. A calibration procedure for recalculating the ratio of the luminescence intensities from the Stark sublevels of the 4F3/2 Nd3+ state into the values of the real NP temperature in accordance with the Boltzmann distribution is given. An algorithm for calculating luminescence intensities for individual Stark components is proposed. After calculating the intensities corresponding to each individual Stark component, all the intensities related to the transition from the upper and lower Stark sublevels of the 4F3/2 state are summed, and then their ratio is calculated. The resulting ratio is normalized to the value of the ratio at room temperature and, in accordance with the calibration dependence, is recalculated into the NP heating temperature. It was demonstrated that the investigated 1%Nd3+:YPO4 nanoparticles can be used as "primary” thermometers that do not require additional recalibration to evaluate the temperature in the range used for hyperthermia.

Abstract
Measuring the localized transient heat generation is critical for developing applications of nanomaterials in areas of photothermal therapy (PTT), drug delivery, optomechanics and biological processes engineering. However, accurate thermometry with high spatiotemporal resolution is still a challenge. Here we develop a thermosensitive polymer-capped gold nanorod (AuNRs@pNIPAAm), which has temperature-dependent local surface plasmon resonance spectra due to the submolecular conformational change of pNIPAAm molecules. We measure the conformational dynamics on individual gold nanorods at the milliseconds level by the developed spatiotemporal resolution plasmonic spectroscopy (SRPS) and find that it has a fast (<4 ms), linear and reversible mechanoresponse to temperature changes as small as 80 mK. The rapid and highly sensitive thermosensitive AuNRs@pNIPAAm opens a new way to achieve spatiotemporal thermometry for potential applications in PTT and other biological research. Remote thermometers with a high spatiotemporal resolution are very desirable for applications in the life sciences, including photothermal therapy. Here, Chen et al. develop polymer coated gold nanorods with a temperature sensitivity of 80 mK and a 4 ms response time for thermometry in the life sciences.
