The present study examined the potential of quantum dot bioconjugates to sensitize cells UV irradiation and promote photodynamic activity classical photosensitizers such as trifluoperazine (TFPZ) sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine (SALPC). Water-soluble CdSe nanocrystals were conjugated with anti-CD antibody known specificity leukemia cells. Quantum conjugates incubated cell line Jurkat ensure specific interaction surface. This was confirmed by fluorescent confocal microscopy. Furthermore,...
The authors have investigated the influence of scandium concentration on power generation figure merit (FOM) aluminum nitride (ScxAl1−xN) films prepared by cosputtering. FOM strongly depends concentration. Sc0.41Al0.59N film was 67 GPa, indicating that is five times larger than AlN. higher those lead zirconate titanate and Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 films, which highest reported for any piezoelectric thin films. high due to d31 low relative permittivity.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) is one of piezoelectric materials, which are eagerly anticipated for use in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) applications such as communication resonators, sensors, and energy harvesters. AlN particularly excellent generated voltage characteristics the MEMS rather than oxide materials lead zirconium titanate Pb(Zr, Ti)O3. However, it necessary to improve properties order advance performance MEMS. We dramatically increased coefficient d33 films by simultaneously...
The present study describes a synthesis of QD-lectin conjugates and their application for identification leukaemia cells from normal lymphocytes using fluorescent confocal microscopy flow cytometry. results are compared with commercially available FITC-lectin.
Photoluminescence (PL) intermittency characteristics are examined for single quantum dots (QDs) in a CdSe QD sample synthesized at slow rate 75 °C. Although the PL efficiency was relatively low (∼0.25), we noticed that intensity of QDs fluctuated on subsecond time scale with short-lived "on" and "off" states. The fluctuations different from blinking generally observed fluctuating millisecond to minute scale. We characterized by identifying polarized excitations, topographic imaging using...
The present study describes an enhancement of the photoluminescence CdSe quantum dots under long-term ultraviolet irradiation in organic solvents. photoenhancement effect followed multiexponential kinetics and was found to depend on several factors: intensity light, polarity solvent, presence capping agents nanocrystal surface, free Cd Se ions solution. High provoked a rapid nanocrystals, reaching maximum with subsequent decay. Low-intensity comparatively slow saturation after 5-6 hours...
A green photoluminescent (PL) undoped zinc oxide film was successfully prepared by a novel method involving KrF excimer laser irradiation of sol-gel-derived precursor. This requires the appropriate energy fluence ( E f ) 100 mJ/cm 2 laser, and has advantage practical production at low substrate temperature 473 K in air. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) observations showed that PL close-packed columnar crystals an upper layer, where centers oxygen vacancies are...
Magnetron sputtering generally increases the temperature of substrate placed to face target above 40 °C because plasmas are transported through unbalanced magnetic field lines from surface. However, by using a mirror-type magnetron cathode, we were able suppress environmental less than at target–substrate distance ≥50 mm with DC input power ≤30 W and an Ar gas pressure ≤0.15 Pa. This was possible balanced confined near target. By enabling film deposition on low heat-resistant substrates,...
A small portion of a reaction mixture including unpurified CdX (X = Se or Te) quantum dots (QDs), in which unreacted Cd and ions were left together with coordinating solvents, was dropped into an organic solvent. The QDs this solution showed enhancement photoluminescence (PL) efficiency, growth particles, focusing size distribution for more than 10 h at room temperature (RT, ∼23 °C). These effects attributed to passivation QDs' surface by X present the solution. No external energy source...

Heat-resistant, low-cost, and large-area flexible piezoelectric sheet sensors that detect the postures of drivers are required for practical driver monitoring systems vehicles. However, typically used polymer-based materials have low heat resistance. Here, we present a simple heat-resistant sensor based on solution-processed zinc oxide films discuss its sensing performance. Piezoelectric lithium-doped (Zn1–xLixO) directly prepared polyimide substrates by facile solution process, producing...
