In this work, we demonstrate how LaF3 nanoparticles activated with large concentrations (up to 25%) of Nd3+ ions can simultaneously operate as biologically compatible efficient nanoheaters and fluorescent nanothermometers under single beam (808 nm) infrared laser excitation. Nd3+:LaF3 nanoparticles emerge as unique multifunctional agents that could constitute the first step towards the future development of advanced platforms capable of simultaneous deep tissue fluorescence bio-imaging and controlled photo-thermal therapies.
