Abstract
Nanoparticles can be applied in biology and medicine as fluorescence labels and in optoelectronics as efficient phosphors. Arguments are presented why phosphors of nanosizes may emit light more efficiently than conventional phosphor materials. First, enhanced impurity-free carriers interactions result in more effective emission excitation and in brighter emission. Second, superradiance is likely more efficient than in bulk-like samples.
