چکیده

Phosphotriesterase was engineered into a spontaneously forming trimer by appending it to a synthetic collagen-like triple-helix motif. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the insecticide and organophosphate nerve agent simulant paraoxon was then examined. Assembling the phosphotriesterase trimer onto semiconductor quantum dots increased the enzyme's catalytic rate and efficiency.

The Effect of pH on the Optical Band Gap of PbSe Thin Film with Usability in the Quantum Dot Solar Cell and Photocatalytic Activity

This study was an attempt to provide a simple solution processed synthesis route for Lead Selenide (PbSe) nanostructure thin films using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method which is commercially available in inexpensive precursors. In the CBD method, the preparation parameters play a considerable role and determine the nature of the final product formed. Known as two main factors, the eff...

Simulation of Direct Pumping of Quantum Dots in a Quantum Dot Laser

In this paper, the nonlinear rate equations governing a quantum dot laser isused to simulate the transient as well as the steady-state behaviors of the laser.Computation results show that the rate equations are capable of simulating true behaviorof a quantum dot laser. Then, the pump rates of the rate equations (which show indirectelectrical pumping of the quantum dots through a wetting layer) ...

Voltage-Controlled Entanglement between Quantum- Dot Molecule and its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Quantum Entropy

The time evolution of the quantum entropy in a coherently driven threelevel quantum dot (QD) molecule is investigated. The entanglement of quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission field is coherently controlled by the gat voltage and the intensity of applied field. It is shown that the degree of entanglement between a three-level quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission fields...
