Stable Fluorescence of Eu<sup>3+</sup> Complex Nanostructures Beneath a Protein Skin for Potential Biometric Recognition

We designed and realized highly fluorescent nanostructures composed of Eu<sup>3+</sup> complexes under a protein coating. The nanostructured material, confirmed by photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM), includes a bottom fluorescent layer and an upper protein layer. The bottom fluorescen...
