These particles show an affinity towards optically active Eu3+ ions. The effect of the nanoparticle on the characteristic emission peaks of Eu3+ is investigated. We use the variation in emission spectra of the ion to establish its binding to the nanoparticles.chelateslanthanidesluminescencenanoparticlessilverChange of Luminescence Properties of Europium Ions Captured by Mixed-Ligand Silver Nanoparticlestext::journal::journal article::research article
