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 کاملUse of Luminescent CdSe–ZnS Nanocrystal Bioconjugates in Quantum Dot-Based Nanosensors
Biomolecules labeled with luminescent colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have potential for use in numerous applications, including fluoro-immunoassays and biological imaging. QD labels exhibit size-tunable narrow-band luminescent emission and high resistance to photodegradation. They also exhibit efficient Förster energy transfer between neighboring QDs of different sizes and their emi...
متن کاملCoupling between semiconductor quantum dots and two-dimensional surface plasmons
When CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots QDs are dispersed onto a two-dimensional 2D textured Ag grating, their luminescent behavior is dramatically modified. Excited QDs can resonantly excite surface plasmon polaritons SPPs propagating along the modulated metallic surface. The measurements of PL spectra and time-resolved PL spectra clearly indicate the interaction between QDs and 2D SPPs. The ele...

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
متن کاملMicrostructure and Optical Properties of Composites Consisting of Nanoporous Stretched Polypropylene doped with Liquid Crystals and Quantum Dots at a High Concentration
Unique properties of nanohybrid composites based on different types of porous polymer matrices doped with fluorescent nanoparticles (quantum dots, QDs) are determined by the combination of the mechanical properties of the host matrix (flexibility, chemical stability, etc.) and a high luminescence intensity and extreme stability of QDs. Here, we report on the preparation, optical and microstruct...
