in this work, we report, optical properties of cd1-xsnxte quantum dots (x= 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) synthesized in water using thioglycolic acid (tga) as a modifier agent. the optical characterization of the samples was performed through absorption (uv) and photoluminescence spectra (pl). a red shift absorption and fluorescent emission peaks was observed which can be related to the increase of nano...

Fluorescent nanoparticles dedicated to bioimaging applications should possess specific properties that have be maintained in the aqueous, reactive, and crowded biological environment. These include chemical photostability, small size (on scale of subcellular structures), biocompatibility, high brightness, good solubility. The latter is a major challenge for inorganic nanoparticles, which requir...
