[Display omitted] This work introduces non-covalent hydrophilic coating of NaGd0.7Eu0.3F4 nanocrystals by polylysine (PL) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) for MRI and fluorescent imaging purposes. PL- and PEI-stabilized nanocrystals exhibit high colloidal stability, cell internalization, fluorescent cont...
