FWHM values for PMMA nanocomposites composed of varying ratios of PA : Tb3+ : LaF3.
| Ligand | Ligand to nanoparticle ratio | FWHM of 490 nm peak—direct ion excitation (= 350 nm) | FWHM of 490 nm peak—ligand excitation ( = 265 nm) |
| PA | 2 : 1 | 9.64 ± 0.36 nm | 8.51 ± 0.20 nm | 3 : 1 | 9.01 ± 0.19 nm | 8.53 ± 0.18 nm | 4 : 1 | 9.18 ± 0.34 nm | 8.50 ± 0.20 nm | 5 : 1 | 9.81 ± 0.39 nm | 8.95 ± 0.20 nm |
