Abstract
ion energies and the results are explained accordingly. The present study substantially reveals the local host effects and these two distinct polymorph nanoparticles can be potentially utilized for color-specific studies related to applications such as color-specific biological in vitro and in vivo imaging and other optoelectronic device applications.
