An essential step towards improving sound insulation is a reliable means of quantifying the performance. However, for various reasons sound insulation measurements at low frequencies are associated with relatively high uncertainty and wide variance v...

Journal Article
Martinez Maestro, L., Dong, N., Pedroni, M., Piccinell, F., Conti, G., Sbarbati, A., …Speghini, A. (2011). NIR-to-NIR two-photon excited CaF2:Tm3+,Yb3+ nanoparticles: multifunctional nanoprobes for highly penetrating fluorescence bio-imaging. ACS nano, 5(11), 8665-8671. https://doi.org/10.1021/nn202490m

In this study, we report on the remarkable two-photon excited fluorescence efficiency in the “biological window” of CaF2:Tm3+,Yb3+ nanoparticles. On the basis of the strong Tm3+ ion emission (at around 800 nm), tissue penetration depths as large as 2...
