Single dot luminescence characteristics of CdSe/ZnS core-shell structured quantum dots with different ligands

چکیده
Chemical derivatizations with different ligands were perfomed on CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs). The ligands serve a role to increase water solubility and bio-compatibility of QDs in the application of in vivo biomedical fluorescence imaging. These QDs were synthesized with various capping agents and optically characterized by using single molecule detection technique to investigate the luminescence properties of individual QD such as spectral distribution and blinking.

Synthesis of Efficiently Green Luminescent CdSe/ZnS Nanocrystals Via Microfluidic Reaction
Quantum dots with emission in the spectral region from 525 to 535 nm are of special interest for their application in green LEDs and white-light generation, where CdSe/ZnS core-shell structured nanocrystals (NCs) are among promising candidates. In this study, triple-ligand system (trioctylphosphine oxide–oleic acid–oleylamine) was designed to improve the stability of CdSe NCs during the early r...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence dynamics of ensemble and individual CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with an alloyed core/shell interface
A comprehensive study of the photoluminescence dynamics in newly developed CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with alloyed core/shell interfaces is presented. Time-correlated single photon counting is used to measure the decay of exciton luminescence from both the ensemble and individual quantum dots. For decreasing emission wavelength (i.e., for smaller dots), the ensemble data reveal increasing total deca...

An investigation of the photoinduced fluorescence enhancement (PFE) behavior of CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots deposited at low densities, under anhydrous and controlled water humidity, under oxygen or argon, is presented. The photoluminescence properties of CdSe/ZnS QDs are highly dependent upon the local gaseous environment. Under anhydrous conditions, under either oxygen or argon, there wa...

Time-resolved single-nanoparticle spectroscopy has been carried out to examine the luminescence characteristics of individual CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots. In particular, the possible correlations between emission intensity, lifetime, spectrum, and polarization fluctuations have been investigated. The emission polarization was found to be correlated with the luminescence intensity in a nonl...
متن کاملPhotoenhancement of Luminescence in Colloidal CdSe Quantum Dot Solutions
Enhancement of the photoluminescence (PL) of colloidal CdSe and (core)shell (CdSe)ZnS quantum dots has been observed when the dots are illuminated above the band-gap energy. The effect occurs in dots suspended in a variety of organic or aqueous environments. During periods of constant illumination, the exciton PL quantum yield was found to reach a value of up to 60 times that of the solution of...
