	Chemiluminescence of Lanthanide Beta-Diketonate - 1,2-Dioxetane System
		1) Excitation of chemiluminescence of weakly luminescent lanthanide ions, e.g.
		The chemiluminescence of lanthanide ions was almost exclusively studied by using europium and terbium compounds that posess highly efficient visible luminescence (red and green respectively).
		Coordination-unsaturated lanthanide beta-diketonates efficiently catalyze the decomposition of 1,2-dioxetanes through the formation of complex in which the peroxide coordinates to lanthanide ion by the oxygen atoms.

	lanthanide series on Encyclopedia.com
		Members of the series are often called lanthanides, although lanthanum (atomic number 57) is not always considered a member of the series.
		The series always includes the 14 elements with atomic numbers 58 through 71, which are (in order of increasing atomic number) cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium.
		The lanthanides have similiar sizes so that any given compound of the rare earths is likely to crystallize with the same structure as any other rare earth; however, the lattice parameters become smaller and the crystal denser as compounds proceed across the series.

		Yb The lanthanide series is the 14 rare earth chemical elements which lie between lanthanum and ytterbium on the periodic table.
		Lanthanides are elements in which the f orbitals are partly or completely filled, while the outermost p and d orbitals are empty.
		Since the f orbitals do not have as much effect on chemistry as the s, p, and d orbitals, lanthanide series elements are chemically similar to each other.

		The doping of the TiO.sub.x layer with a lanthanide occurs as a substitution of a lanthanide atom for a Ti atom.
		Evaporating the lanthanide source is begun substantially concurrent with evaporating TiO.sub.2, while bombarding the body region with Ar ions shortly after the evaporation of the TiO.sub.2 has begun, forming a gate dielectric 140 containing lanthanide doped TiO.sub.x on the body region.
		Lanthanide doped TiO.sub.x films formed by ion assisted electron beam evaporation can be amorphous and possess smooth surfaces and high packing densities, which limits the occurrence of adsorbed water in the films.

		The device of claim 22, wherein the color of the light source converted by the transparent polymer is dependent on the type of light source and the mole ratio X:Y=3-x:2+2x of A and B in the phosphor, determined by x.
		The red luminescence emitted by the phosphor increases in intensity as the proportion of organic phosphine oxide, one of the ligands in a lanthanide chelate, increases.
		Although not all lanthanide ion solutions are dissolved in acid, the dissolution of the salt of these rare earth metals, usually nitrates or chlorides, in deionised water would usually give raise to an acidic environment in view of the chloride ions and the nitrate ions in the same solution of the dissolved salts.

	CT 2/99: Lanthanide triflates as unique Lewis acids
		Lanthanide trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates) are unique Lewis acids that are currently of great research interest.
		As is often observed, the radii of the lanthanide ions played an important role in the catalytic process.
		Whereas it is troublesome to remove and recycle the soluble lanthanides in the former case, the separation and recycling of the supported lanthanides require only simple filtration.

	lanthanide
		Lanthanides are grouped because of their chemical similarities (most are trivalent, but some can be divalent or tetravalent), their properties differing only slightly with atomic number.
		Lanthanides were called rare earths originally because they were not widespread and were difficult to identify and separate from their ores by their discoverers.
		The series is set out in a band in the periodic table of the elements, as are the actinides.

	Physical Properties of Melts, Magmas, and Lavas I Posters - Volcanology, Geochemistry, Petrology [V]
		Lanthanides are of great interest in igneous petrology as trace indicators of magmatic processes that control the origin and evolution of igneous rocks.
		A key to the petrogenetic modelling of magmatic processes and to determine the phase diagrams of lanthanide host phases is the accurate determination of the physico-chemical and thermodynamic properties of lanthanide-containing materials, such as the volumetric properties of lanthanide-bearing silicate melts.
		Comparison between the partial molar volumes of lanthanide sesquioxides obtained in this study and the molar volumes of molten lanthanide sesquioxides given in the literature raise the possibility however that this ideality is not maintained along the entire Na-disilicate - lanthanide sesquioxide pseudo-binary joins.

	Photochemistry and Photobiology: Sensitization of lanthanides by nonnatural amino acids
		In such cases, a chelated lanthanide that is associated with one partner sensitizes an acceptor on a complementary partner when these species are within the typical Forster distance range of 3 to 9 nm (3).
		Efficient sensitization of the lanthanide by an organic chromophore requires suitable overlap of the donor emission band with the excitation band of the metal ion, efficient coordination of the lanthanide so that a minimum number of water molecules coordinate to the metal ion, and a chromophore-lanthanide distance of 10 A or less (5).
		Upon chelation of a lanthanide, the distance and relative orientation between the chromophore and the ion are fixed; thus, perturbations of transfer efficiency owing to changes in these parameters are eliminated, simplifying analysis of the results.

	Demonstration of the Feasibility of Recovering Americium and Curium Isotopes from a Lanthanide Borosilicate Glass
		The lanthanide oxides in the glass, as surrogates for Am/Cm, were successfully leached from the simulated glass using 15.7M nitric acid [4].
		This small shortfall in recovery was found to be statistically insignificant based on the variance in the measured concentrations used to calculate the masses of the recovered lanthanides and the total lanthanides in the glass.
		For dissolution tests in which the measured lanthanide recoveries were slightly less than 98%, uncertainties associated in the measured glass compositions and the dissolving solution analyses accounted for the difference.

		The lanthanide elements exhibit remarkably diverse optical and magnetic properties across the lanthanide series (from cerium to ytterbium).
		These properties may be understood largely in terms of the electronic states split out of the 4fN (N=1-13) electronic configuration, and when a lanthanide ion resides in a ligand or crystalline environment these properties depend on the details of the lanthanide-ligand (or crystal) interactions.
		Systematic characterizations of these parameters yield information essential to the rational design of lanthanide systems with pre-specified optical and magnetic properties, and they are necessary in selecting lanthanide ions to be used as spectroscopic probes of biomolecular structure and function.
