چکیده

Sexithiophenes 1a and 1b, in which a 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl unit is incorporated as an end-capping group, were synthesised and characterised by cyclic voltammetry, absorption spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry. Additionally, their ability to function as effective luminescence quenchers for quantum dot emission was studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy and compared with the performance of alkyl end-capped sexithiophenes 2a and 2b.

A mechanism to signal receptor-substrate interactions with luminescent quantum dots.

Semiconductor quantum dots are becoming valuable analytical tools for biomedical applications. Indeed, their unique photophysical properties offer the opportunity to design luminescent probes for imaging and sensing with unprecedented performance. In this context, we have identified operating principles to transduce the supramolecular association of complementary receptor-substrate pairs into a...

Tuning the Luminescence of CdS Quantum Dots by a Simple Method

In this report, we present a facile approach for the synthesis of luminescent CdS and CdS:Mn+2 nanocrystals by reaction of CdSO4 and Na2S2O3 in the presence of thioglycerol (C3H8O2S) as capping agent. The influence of various experimental variables including, pH values and percentage of dopant, on the growth...

All-inorganic water-dispersible silicon quantum dots: highly efficient near-infrared luminescence in a wide pH range.

We report a novel method to prepare silicon quantum dots (Si-QDs) having excellent stability in water without organic-ligands by simultaneously doping phosphorus and boron. The codoped Si-QDs in water exhibit bright size-tunable luminescence in a biological window. The luminescence of codoped Si-QDs is very stable under continuous photoexcitation in water.

Efficient Light Emitting Devices Utilizing CdSe ( ZnS ) Quantum Dots in Organic Host Matrices

We demonstrate efficient electroluminescence from thin film structures containing core-shell CdSe(ZnS) quantum dots dispersed in molecular organic host materials. In the most efficient devices, excitons are created on the quantum dot sites via energy transfer from organic host molecules, and direct charge injection into the quantum dots is minimized. For quantum dots with core diameter 38 A, th...

Photoluminescence up-conversion in InAsÕGaAs self-assembled quantum dots

We report up-converted photoluminescence in a structure with InAs quantum dots embedded in GaAs. An efficient emission from the GaAs barrier is observed with resonant excitation of both the dots and the wetting layer. The intensity of the up-converted luminescence is found to increase superlinearly with the excitation density. The results suggest that the observed effect is due to a two-step tw...
