Women's Contribution to F-element Science

Women’s Contribution to F-element Science, Volume 65 in the Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on topics such as Rare-Earth Upconversion Luminescence and Its Applications: From Molecular, to Nano and Micro Scales, Control of 4f complexes luminescence and magnetism with (organic) photoswitches, Lanthanide-Based Responsive MRI Probes, Luminescent solar concentrators: current and future applications in smart cities, Lanthanide Chalcogenide Precursors: from luminescence to nanoparticle synthesis, Helical coordination complexes of rare earths and their luminescent properties, and much more.

Other chapters cover Environmental and molecular facets of uranyl(V) and uranium(V) chemistry, Uranium dendrites in molten salt electrorefining, Impact of synthesis routes on the optical performance of upconverting and NIR emitting lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, Lanthanide complexes for luminescence, therapy, and sensing, Versatile core/shell luminescent nanoparticles for biophotonic studies, and 4f-Metal ions in single molecule magnet systems.
