Core/intermediate/shell (C/I/S) structures with Type-I emission are well-known and gaining immense importance due to their superior luminescence properties. Here, we report a unique C/I/S structure composed of CdSe/CdS/ZnSe that exhibits both Type-II phenomena. The have been well characterized using combination optical structural techniques. photoluminescence (PL) excitation (PLE) data indicate the formation combined in one material, results supported by simple theoretical calculations....
We report a systematic study of the electron-transfer process from CdSe quantum dots (QDs) to Au tips as function QD diameter and also size Au-tip. For Au-tips smaller than ∼3 nm, that is, when they are still not metallic, reduction in PL behavior is observed excited electrons transferred QD-conduction band Au, with quenching being higher for larger QDs. A combination steady state time-resolved studies establish mechanism charge transfer further confirmed by dye-degradation studies, showing...
Excess urea fertilizer application to the agricultural fields causes severe environmental deterioration. Researchers actively seek safer alternatives, such as nanoparticles with unique properties, reduce chemical inputs without compromising output. In present study, three variants─hydroxyapatite–urea, magnesium-doped hydroxyapatite–urea, and zinc-doped hydroxyapatite–urea nanohybrids─have been synthesized in a two-step method characterized slow-release nitrogen fertilizers. Doping Zn Mg...
We present results of the studies relating to preparation Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) monolayers tri-n-octylphosphine oxide-capped cadmium selenide quantum dots (QCdSe) onto indium–tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate. The monolayer behavior has been studied at air–water interface under various subphase conditions. This nanopatterned platform explored fabricate an electrochemical DNA biosensor for detection chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) by covalently immobilizing thiol-terminated...
We show for the first time that stability of wurtzite or zinc blende phase CdE (E = S, Se, Te) nanocrystals strongly depends on surface these nanocrystals. Anion rich surfaces prefer to crystallize in structure whereas cation tend favor phase. Transformations from one other can be effected by merely changing particles and annealing at a specified temperature. Our results it is not only important choose synthesis temperature ligands order achieve crystallization preferred but also deciding factor.
The ongoing and unrestrained application of nitrogen fertilizer to agricultural lands has been directly linked climate change reductions in biodiversity. sector needs a technological upgrade adopt sustainable methods for maintaining high yield. We report synthesis zinc magnesium doped undoped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, their urea nanohybrids, sustainably deliver wheat. nanohybrids loaded with up 42% were used as new source compared conventional urea-based efficient sufficient delivery...
The role of surface atoms on the emission from core−shell nanocrystals depends whether atom is anionic or cationic. A cation-rich enhances intensity, while an anion-rich leads to deterioration fluorescence signal. However, correspondence coverage intensity not so straightforward and what kind sites are being talked about. In this Article, we report study CdSe−CdS CdSe−ZnS see effect composition luminescence these materials.
A novel photoactive hybrid nanostructure based on zero-dimensional (0-D) light-harvesting components of CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs) and one-dimensional (1-D) transporting channel single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) was synthesized by hydrophobic interaction between alkyl chain dodecanethiol molecule (QDs surface) octadecylamine (CNT surface). Photophysical electrical characterizations suggest that an efficient electron transfer from photoexcited CIS QDs to SWCNT takes place. Furthermore,...

Bioconjugation of quantum dots has resulted in a significant increase resolution biological fluorescent labeling. This intrinsic property can be utilized for sensitive detection target analytes with high sensitivity; including pathogenic bacteria and cancer monitoring. The dot doped silica nanoparticles exhibit prominent emission peaks when excited at 400 nm but on conjugation to model rabbit antigoat antibodies diminished intensity peak 600 nm. It shows that photoluminescence conjugated...
