title: Near-infrared emission Ba3(PO4)2:Mn5+ phosphor and potential application in vivo fluorescence imaging.
abstract: Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1350 nm) is attracting attention due to negligible tissue scattering and lower tissue autofluorescence, etc. Here, Ba3(PO4)2:Mn(5+) phosphor is prepared via solid state reaction method in air, and NIR emission band peaking at ∼1191 nm in the NIR-II region is observed. According to experiment results, Ba3(PO4)2:Mn(5+) phosphor has a great potential for the study of the NIR-II fluorescence imaging in vivo.
