CdSe quantum dots are often used in industry as fluorescent materials. In this study, CdSe quantum dots were synthesized using Fusarium oxysporum. The cadmium and selenium concentration, pH, and temperature for the culture of F. oxysporum (Fusarium oxysporum) were optimized for the synthesis, and the CdSe quantum dots obtained from the mycelial cells of F. oxysporum were observed by transmissio...

CdSe quantum dots with a prominent band-edge photoluminescence were obtained by a soft AOT water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion templating method with an estimated size of 2.7 nm. The CdSe particles were covered with a TiO2 layer using an intermediate SiO2 coupling reagent by a sol-gel process. The resulting CdSe/TiO2 core/shell nanoparticles showed appreciable photocatalytic activity at λ = 405 nm...

The fluorescence of colloidal CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals at room temperature exhibits a perfect antibunching under continuous or pulsed excitation. In this paper, we discuss the consequences of fluorescence properties of CdSe nanocrystals on the generation of single photons. In particular,we examine the role of Auger processes in the inhibition of multiexcitonic emission. We also discuss the relatio...

BACKGROUND Potential routes of nanomaterial exposure include inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion. Toxicology of inhalation of ultra-fine particles has been extensively studied; however, risks of nanomaterial exposure via ingestion are currently almost unknown. Using enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells as a small intestine epithelial model, the possible toxicity of CdSe quantum dot (QD) exposure ...

We study the effects of bifunctional linker on the optical properties of ZnO nanocolumn-linker-CdSe quantum dots heterostructure. The CdSe quantum dots are anchored on the surface of ZnO nanocolumns through either aliphatic linker of 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APS) or aromatic linker of p-aminophenyl trimethoxysilane (APhS). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to confirm the bifunctio...

Recent years have witnessed quite a number of worldwide efforts for fabricating CdSe/TiO2 nanotube arrays (CdSe/TNTAs) nanocomposites; however, the construction of a well-defined CdSe/TNTAs binary nanostructure for versatile photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical applications still poses a big challenge. In this work, a hierarchically ordered CdSe/nanoporous TiO2 nanotube arrays (CdSe/NP-TNTAs...

CdSe nanostructures were synthesized by using green chemical route as starch was used as capping agent. XRD, HR-TEM, SEAD, UV and PL studies were made for structural and optical properties of the prepared sample. Film morphology and the thickness measurement of n-CdSe were carried out with AFM analysis. I-V characteristics curve of this junction confirmed the formation of Schottky contact betwe...

CdSe nanoclusters embedded in silicon oxide layers are produced by sequential physical vapor deposition of SiOx …x < 1:5† and CdSe on crystalline silicon substrates at room temperature. High-resolution electron microscopy is used to prove the formation of CdSe nanoclusters as well as to study their shape, size and structure. Cross-sectional electron micrographs of the as-deposited samples revea...
