The present invention relates to methods for the preparation of inorganic nanoparticles capable of fluorescence, wherein the nanoparticles consist of a host material that comprises at least one dopant. The synthesis of the invention in organic solvents allows to gain a considerably higher yield compared to the prior art synthesis in water. All kinds of objects can advantageously be marked and reliably authenticated by using an automated method on the basis of a characteristic emission. Further, the size distribution of the prepared nanoparticles is narrower which renders a subsequent size-selected separation process superfluous.

A method of growing group III-nitride crystals in a mixture of supercritical ammonia and nitrogen, and the group-III crystals grown by this method. The group III-nitride crystal is grown in a reaction vessel in supercritical ammonia using a source material or nutrient that is polycrystalline group III-nitride, amorphous group III-nitride, group-III metal or a mixture of the above, and a seed crystal that is a group-III nitride single crystal. In order to grow high-quality group III-nitride crystals, the crystallization temperature is set at 550° C. or higher. Theoretical calculations show that dissociation of NH₃ at this temperature is significant. However, the dissociation of NH₃ is avoided by adding extra N₂ pressure after filling the reaction vessel with NH₃.
