Multifunctional nanoparticles exhibiting red or green luminescence properties and magnetism were synthesized and thoroughly analyzed. The hydrothermal method was used for the synthesis of Eu 3+ - or Tb 3+ -doped GdF 3 -, NaGdF 4 -, and BaGdF 5 -based nanocrystalline materials. The X-ray diffraction...
