The formation of inorganic nanomaterials such as CdS, ZnS, and gold and silver nanoparticles was recently observed in microorganisms. The underlying processes are still not well understood at the molecular scale. It has been proposed that enzymes or peptides may take part in the nucleation and reaction control. It seems highly desirable to perform similar reactions in artificial systems as a fi...

Tailored sensoric, electronic, photoelectrochemical, and bioelectrocatalytic functions can be designed by organized molecular or biomolecular nanoparticle hybrid configurations on surfaces. Layered receptor-cross-linked Au nanoparticle assemblies on electrodes act as specific sensors of tunable sensitivities. Layered DNA-cross-linked CdS nanoparticles on electrode supports reveal organized asse...

Strongly concentrated optical fields around a metal nanoparticle in the close vicinity of dipole noticeably facilitate dramatic changes localized density states due to hybrid photonic–plasmonic mode couplings as compared that pure cavity fields. Significant variations field intensity presence elucidate enhanced light–matter interaction structure. The enhancement factor is studied through single...

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 rate and optical properties of the obtained cds nanocrystals has been systematically in...
