title: Photophysical properties and tunable colour changes of silica single layers doped with lanthanide(III) complexes.
abstract: Highly stable Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes, emitting in the red and green visible regions, respectively, have been anchored onto a single SiO(2) transparent layer, yielding ca. 40 nm thick films; this allows high loading of tailored proportions of the red and green emitters within the films and results in highly uniform and easily colour-tunable luminescent layers.
