Dynamics of molecular diffusion of rhodamine 6G in silica nanochannels.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a method to study diffusion of rhodamine 6G dye in single silica nanochannels using arrays of silica nanochannels. Dynamics of the molecules inside single nanochannel is found from the change of the dye concentration in solution with time. A 10(8) decrease in the dye diffusion coefficient relative to water was observed. In comparison to single fluorescent molecule studies, the presented method does not require fluorescence of the diffusing molecules.

Ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles.
The first successful approach to synthesizing ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles is reported. Fluorescent dye is physically entrapped inside nanochannels of a silica matrix created during templated sol-gel self-assembly. The problem of dye leakage from open channels is solved by incorporation of hydrophobic groups in the silica matrix. This makes the approach compatible wit...
متن کاملStimulated Emission Depletion Studies of Molecular Probe Dynamics
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) population and polarisation dynamics are used to determine 40 α the degree of hexadecapole alignment created in ensembles of rhodamine 6G molecules in solution following two-photon excitation. Hexadecapole molecular alignment is an unavoidable consequence of two-photon excitation but is not observed in spontaneous emission. For a single element diagonal tran...

.Zinc sulfide/carbon nanofibers ZnS/CNFs composite was successfully synthesized through a facile and simple method. The X-ray diffraction XRD patterns revealed the formation of ZnS decorated CNFs composite. The photocatalytic activity of ZnS/CNFs composite was investigated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine 6G Rh-6G dye in aqueous solutions. The effect of operational parameters such as initia...
متن کاملMesoscale porous silica as drug delivery vehicles: Synthesis, characterization, and pH-sensitive release profiles
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) have potential as drug delivery and controlled release devices due to their high surface area and absorption capabilities. The effect of surface charge and pH on the release of the fluorescent dye, rhodamine 6G, from MSN has been studied. Release profiles of rhodamine 6G from bare and amine-coated MSN at pH 5.0 and 7.4 are very different and demonstrate tha...
