Making Nd<sup>3+</sup> a Sensitive Luminescent Thermometer for Physiological Temperatures—An Account of Pitfalls in Boltzmann Thermometry

Ratiometric luminescence thermometry employing luminescence within the biological transparency windows provides high potential for biothermal imaging. Nd<sup>3+</sup> is a promising candidate for that purpose due to its intense radiative transitions within biological windows (BWs) I and...
