Hybrid systems, incorporating magnetic and luminescent properties into single-entity nanostructures, have shown great potential in a variety of biotechnological and environmental applications, such as multimodal MRI contrast agents, drug delivery carriers, magnetic hyperthermia for cancer therapy, biochemical separation, and pollutants’ removal and sensing. Much of this potential is due to the properties that can be summed up or that can synergistically arise when the architecture’s components are closely in contact at nanometric scale. The current project addresses the identification and understanding of the relationship between magnetic and luminescent properties in bifunctional hybrid systems and further the elaboration of new magneto-luminescent architectures with tailored properties and functionalities for biomedical applications.
