Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles. 
As a master in chemistry, bio-engineering or materials engineering, you will be involved in research, which is centered around the so-called ‘rare earth’ elements. These are the lanthanide elements, including scandium and yttrium. Many of the trivalent lanthanide ions show remarkable luminescence, in the UV, visible and even infrared spectral regions. Because of the high colorimetric purity of this luminescence, lanthanide ions are often used in lighting applications and lasers. One way of incorporating lanthanide ions in diverse media is to include these ions …
