Abstract
The advanced design of rare-earth-doped (RE-doped) fluoride nanoparticles has expanded their applications ranging from anticounterfeiting luminescence and contactless temperature measurement to photodynamic therapy. Several recent studies have focused on developing rare morphologies of RE-doped nanoparticles. Distinct physical morphologies of RE-doped fluoride materials set them apart from contemporary nanoparticles. Every unusual structure holds the potential to dramatically improve the physical performance of nanoparticles, resulting in a remarkable revolution and a wide range of applications. This comprehensive review serves as a guide offering insights into various uniquely structured nanoparticles, including hollow, dumbbell-shaped, and peasecod-like forms. It aims to cater to both novices and experts interested in exploring the morphological transformations of nanoparticles. Discovering new energy transfer pathways and enhancing the optical application performance have been long-term challenges for which new solutions can be found in old papers. In the future, nanoparticle morphology design is expected to involve more refined microphysical methods and chemically-induced syntheses. Targeted modification of nanoparticle morphology and the aggregation of nanoparticles of various shapes can provide the advantages of different structures and enhance the universality of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Data processing and storage in electronic devices are typically performed as a sequence of elementary binary operations. Alternative approaches, such as neuromorphic or reservoir computing, are rapidly gaining interest where data processing is relatively slow, but can be performed in a more comprehensive way or massively in parallel, like in neuronal circuits. Here, time-domain all-optical information processing capabilities of photon-avalanching (PA) nanoparticles at room temperature are discovered. Demonstrated functionality resembles properties found in neuronal synapses, such as: paired-pulse facilitation and short-term internal memory, in situ plasticity, multiple inputs processing, and all-or-nothing threshold response. The PA-memory-like behavior shows capability of machine-learning-algorithm-free feature extraction and further recognition of 2D patterns with simple 2 input artificial neural network. Additionally, high nonlinearity of luminescence intensity in response to photoexcitation mimics and enhances spike-timing-dependent plasticity that is coherent in nature with the way a sound source is localized in animal neuronal circuits. Not only are yet unexplored fundamental properties of photon-avalanche luminescence kinetics studied, but this approach, combined with recent achievements in photonics, light confinement and guiding, promises all-optical data processing, control, adaptive responsivity, and storage on photonic chips.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 225:1172-1181. [PMID: 36414081 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.11.178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
A new design for chiral photonic cellulose nanocrystal films was developed by co-assembling lanthanide-doped nanorods (NRs) into chiral cellulose nanocrystals, in which the photonic band gap (PBG) could be tuned in the visible range by changing the mass fraction of flexible agents, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ethylene glycol (EG). Due to the PBG effect, the luminescence modulation in such nanocrystal films had been realized. The down-conversion luminescence from NaGd30Y60F4:5%Tb3+, 5%Eu3+ NRs and up-conversion luminescence from NaGd40Y40F4:18%Yb3+, 2%Er3+ NRs could be enhanced by 28 % and 18 % respectively, on account of the band edge effect. The luminescence would be inhibited when the luminescence overlapped with the stop band of the PBG. These results implied that the biocompatible photonic cellulose nanocrystal films are ideally suited for applications in optical coding, optical resonators and biocompatible lasers.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based optical nanoprobes for luminescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications have been receiving tremendous attention. Every element in the MOF structure, including the metal nodes, the organic linkers, and the guest molecules, can be used as a source to build single/multi-emission signals for the intended analytical purposes. For SERS applications, the MOF can not only be used directly as a SERS substrate, but can also improve the stability and reproducibility of the metal-based substrates. Additionally, the porosity and large specific surface area give MOF a sieving effect and target molecule enrichment ability, both of which are helpful for improving detection selectivity and sensitivity. This mini-review summarizes the advances of MOF-based optical detection methods, including luminescence and SERS, and also provides perspectives on future efforts.
