Abstract

âº Magnetic-fluorescent nanohybrids were designed by a LBL self-assembly technique. âº The nanohybrids consist of lanthanide doped nanocrystals on the surface of MWNTs. âº We circumvented the PL quenching of lanthanide by growth of a SiO2 shell spacer. âº The nanohybrids showed powerful T1 and T2-weighted MRI signal. âº The nanohybrids were promising for multimodal MRI/optical imaging.
