Some properties of spherical and rod-shaped semiconductor and metal nanocrystals*

چکیده
In this paper, we summarize our results on the effect of changing size and shape of semiconductor and metallic nanocrystals. The change in size (from 3.5 to 1.1 nm) and shape (from spherical to rod) of CdSe nanocrystals is found to affect both their optical and nonradiative properties. In gold quasi-spherical nanocrystals, results on the dependence of the electron-phonon relaxation of the surrounding medium are presented. For gold nanorods, results and conclusions on the mechanism of their self-assembly are presented. Enhanced Raman scattering on their surfaces is studied and compared with that on spherical particle surfaces.

Investigation of cytotoxicity properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles in spherical and rod shaped on leukemia cells
In this study, we reported a method to associate doxorubicin drug on folic acid functionalized SiO2/ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in rod and spherical shapes. The clinical usage of the anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), is limited by severe side effects and cell resistance. Targeted drug delivery by binding DOX to nanoparticles could overcome these limitations. The surface functionalization of the Z...
متن کاملAnisotropic Growth of PbSe Nanocrystals on Au-Fe3O4 Hybrid Nanoparticles
Two of the most important research directions in the preparation of nanocrystals are the growth of non-spherical quantum-confined structures and nanocrystal heterostructures. Non-spherical structures provide a means of understanding the effect of dimensionality and structural anisotropy on quantum-confined optoelectronic behavior and also introduce new degrees of freedom in engineering nanocrys...
متن کاملInfluences of Co2+ & Er3+ Co-doping on the Structural and Physical Properties of ZnO Nanocrystals Synthesized by Hydrothermal Route
Co2+ & Er3+ co-doped ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by the hydrothermal method at 180°C and pH= 12 for 48 h. Powder XRD patterns indicate that the Zn1-2xErxCoxO crystals (0.00<x≤0.035) are isostructural with ZnO. The cell parameters increase for Er3+ and Co2+ upon increasing the dopant content (x). SEM images show that doping of Er3+ and Co2+ into the sites of Zn2+ does not change the morpho...
متن کاملChemical synthesis of the Co3O4 nanoparticles in presence of CTAB surfactant
Sphere-like shaped cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co3O4) were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method using cobalt chloride as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant. Their structural and surface morphologial properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffra...
