Applications of Quantum Dots in Cell Tracking
Tracking cells after transplantation is always one the main concerns of researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Finding a tracer with long stability and low cytotoxicity can be considered as a solution for this issue. Semiconductor nanocrystals, also called quantum dots (QDs), have unique photophysical properties which make them as suitable candidate in this setting. Broad-range exci...
متن کاملPatterning Nanoroads and Quantum Dots on Fluorinated Graphene
Using ab initio methods we have investigated the fluorination of graphene and find that different stoichiometric phases can be formed without a nucleation barrier, with the complete “2D-Teflon” CF phase being thermodynamically most stable. The fluorinated graphene is an insulator and turns out to be a perfect matrix-host for patterning nanoroads and quantum dots of pristine graphene. The electr...
متن کاملNovel Synthesis of Slightly Fluorinated Graphene Quantum Dots with Luminescent and Paramagnetic Properties through Thermal Cutting of Fluorinated Graphene
A novel approach has been developed to synthesize slightly fluorinated graphene quantum dots (GQDs-F) through thermal cutting of highly fluorinated graphene. The fluorinated graphene with substantial structure defects is fragile and is readily attacked. The direct evaporation of abundant CFn (n = 2, 3) groups near structure defects lead to the loss of adjacent skelton C atoms, and the fluorinat...
متن کاملTracking individual membrane proteins using quantum dots.
Single-particle tracking of individual membrane molecules is now the method of choice to decipher the molecular organization of the plasma membrane. By labeling proteins or lipids with latex beads, 40-nm gold nanoparticles, or small organic fluorophores, it is possible to analyze the mechanisms controlling their lateral dynamics. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) provide several advantages for t...
متن کاملInterference and interactions in open quantum dots
In this report, we review the results of our joint experimental and theoretical studies of electroninterference, and interaction, phenomena in open electron cavities known as quantum dots. The transport through these structures is shown to be heavily influenced by the remnants of their discrete density of states, elements of which remain resolved in spite of the strong coupling that exists betw...
