ABSTRACT
Multifunctional LaF3Tb scintillating nanoparticles (ScNPs) coated with homogenous layers of silica and subsequently tethered with RB covalently were elaborated. The nanoconjugates with a high colloidal stability and biocompatibility could generate a reasonable amount of (1)O2 through efficient energy transfer upon external illumination, which enables them to be potentially applied in diagnosis and photodynamic therapy for deep seated tumour.
