Nd<sup>3+</sup>-Doped TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles as Nanothermometer: High Sensitivity in Temperature Evaluation inside Biological Windows

TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles doped with different amounts of Nd<sup>3+</sup> (0.5, 1, and 3 wt.%) were synthetized by the sol–gel method, and evaluated as potential temperature nanoprobes using the fluorescence intensity ratio between thermal-sensitive radiative transitions...
