Controlling blinking in multilayered quantum dots
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fluorescence intermittency of multilayered quantum dots QDs is experimentally investigated. The measured blinking statistical probabilities for QDs of different shell structures and at different excitation powers are compared with the diffusion controlled electron transfer model. The results show that the power law statistics for the “on” and “off” events depend strongly on the structure and thicknesses of the shells. Strongly suppressed blinking behavior is observed in the CdSe/CdS/ ZnCdS/ZnS QDs. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3396985

P-156: A Study about Toxicity of CdSe Quantum Dots on Male Sexual System of Mice and Controlling This Toxicity by ZnS Coverage in Immature Mice
Background: Quantum dots are commonly composed of cadmium contained semiconductors. Cadmium is potentially hazardous but toxicity of such quantum dots is not yet systematically investigated. On the other hand, in vitro studies have shown almost complete control of CdSe induced cytotoxicity by ZnS coverage. Toxicity of CdSe quantum dots and controlling this toxicity by ZnS coverage in immature m...
متن کاملA comparative study about toxicity of CdSe quantum dots on reproductive system development of mice and controlling this toxicity by ZnS coverage
Objective(s): Medicinal benefits of quantum dots have been proved in recent years but there is little known about their toxicity especially in vivo toxicity. In order to use quantum dots in medical applications, studies ontheir in vivo toxicity is important. Materials and Methods:CdSe:ZnS quantum dots were injected in 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg doses to male mice10 days later, mice were sacrificed ...

متن کاملProbing and controlling fluorescence blinking of single semiconductor nanoparticles
In this review we present an overview of the experimental and theoretical development on fluorescence intermittency (blinking) and the roles of electron transfer in semiconductor crystalline nanoparticles. Blinking is a very interesting phenomenon commonly observed in single molecule/particle experiments. Under continuous laser illumination, the fluorescence time trace of these single nanoparti...
متن کاملNonblinking plasmonic quantum dot assemblies for multiplex biological detection.
Optical labels enable visualization and detection of molecules, cells, and tissues. These labels have limited multiplexing capabilities, blink on/off at the single-molecule level, and, in many cases, they have low brightness. We address each of these issues through the development of a sub-50 nm barcoded optical label system by coating fluorescent quantum dots onto the surface of plasmonic nano...
