Semiconductor Nano crystals or quantum dots are materials that are typically 2-20 nm in diameter, consisting of approximately twelve to fourteen thousand atoms. The effect of quantum confinement results, in the electrons and holes in the Nano crystal to exhibit quantized energy states; thus enabling them to exhibit novel physical properties that are not found in their bulk counterparts. Research in semiconductor quantum dots started with the realization that the optical and electronic properties of these particles were strongly dependent on particle size, due to quantum confinement of the charge carriers in small spaces.

These findings are significant because super-resistant bugs are already rampant in hospitals, and are only one mutation away from exploding into an epidemic of untold scale. Consequently, the researchers view quantum dots as a figurative platform technology, upon which more advanced methods can be tested against a wide range of infections, with a possible expansion into therapeutics on the

oxysporum growth medium may have an effect on its biosynthetic ability (Birla et al., 2013). pHs 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 F. oxysporum treatments all synthesized QDs, which is denoted by the sharp excitonic emission peaks at 460 nm (Figure 7). The control, where the pH of the growth medium was not adjusted, had the lowest ZnSe QD yield (Figure 7). Birla et al. (2013) found that an increase in pH increased the number of synthesized nanoparticles. This means pH 6 should have fewer synthesized nanoparticles than pH 7, but it was not the case in this study (Figure 7). However, pHs 9 (p < 0.001) and 10 (p = 0.011) had the highest QD yields, and they were significantly different from the control (Figure

The preparation of the selenide organometallic precursor, trioctylphosphine selenide, was done by dissolving 0.1 mol of a selendie shot in 100 ml of trioctylphosphine, therefore resulting in a 1M solution of trioctylphosphine selenide. Dimethylcadmium was used as the other organometallic precursor. The CdSe quantum dots were synthesized via the pyrolysis of dimethylcadmium and trioctylphosphine selenide in the co-ordinating trioctylphosphine oxide solvent. Precursors were injected at 350oC and dots were grown at 290oC. Selective size precipitation was performed with methanol to collect the quantum dots as powders, then quantum dots were redispersed in hexane. 5g of trioctylphosphine oxide was heated until it reached 190oC under a vacuum and

I am teaching this Macaulay Honors College course — this content will evolve a bit organically, and I would greatly appreciate your suggestions/comments/corrections — this CCNY course is only for Macaulay undergrads, and I think that they would be very inspired if they could get a chance to hear new concepts and interdisciplinary (nanoscience & biophysical chemistry) ideas from you.

The upconversion effect has been observed primarily in the rare-earth metals of the lanthanides as well as yttrium, and scandium; however, some transition metals and actinides can also display this effect[2]. Lanthanide ions display special inner-shell arrangements of 4fn 5d0-1, which allow for unique energy levels and provide shielding from the outer shells[2]. Due to their various f-orbital configurations, lanthanide ions are able to display very sharp luminescence emissions via intra-4f or 4f-4d transitions[2,3]. The importance of the lanthanide ions is evident in several applications including applications in lasers, bioprobe applications, optical imaging, and photodynamic therapy [2,3]. This is due to their fluorescent properties, which include: resistance to photobleaching, monochromaticity, large Stokes shifts, narrow bandwidth, and long emission lifetime[2,3]. The direct excitation of the lanthanide ions is not very effective because they are limited by low

The reasons for confinement can be electrostatic potential which can be due to external electrodes, strain, impurities and doping. According to a lot of research that has been going on in this field, a quantum dot has a discrete quantized energy spectrum.

ABSTRACT: In this account, phosphorylated chitosan (PCS) were first deposited on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) via chemical modification to obtain functionalized MWNTs-based PCS (PCS-MWNTs). Then, a series of PET fibers with MWNTs or PCS-MWNTs were prepared via melt spinning. The microstructure and molecular structure of MWNTs and PCS-MWNTs were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR spectroscopy. The morphological structures, mechanical, thermal, and flame retardant properties of the PET fibers containing MWNTs or PCS-MWNTs were analyzed by FESEM, therogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, cone and electronic tension meter method.
