Outline • Nanomaterials and quantum dots (QDs) • Biochemistry • Gd2O3:Tb3+@SiOx system • Researches • Summary
Quantum Dots (QDs) Nanometre-scale semiconductor crystals
Quantum Dots (QDs) How it works ...
Quantum Dots (QDs) Relationship between crystal size and colour The smaller the size, the shorter the wavelenght
Quantum Dots (QDs) Advantages in comparison with conventional Dyes • QDs emit light at a variety of precise wavelenghts • QDs can be excited by any wavelenght shorter than the one it emits • QDs have wide range of avaible colours • QDs are extremely stable
Quantum Dots (QDs) Ways of obtaining nanoparticles • Sol-gel • Plasma • Mechanochemical • Aerosol processing • High-energy ball milling • Polyol and other chemical • Hydrothermal processing • Other chemical and physical techniques as needed
Quantum Dots (QDs) Applications
Life science Controling the size and phase of semiconductor nanocrystals by biological materials (peptides, etc.) QDs as a markers
Gd2O3:Tb3+@SiOx[1] Double Luminescence for Biological Labeling [1] Chem. Mater. 2005, 17, 1673-1682
Optical properties of Gd2O3:Tb3 Double Luminescence for Biological Labeling • high photostability • narrow emission bands
Gd2O3:Tb3+@SiOx systemThe role of the layer : Double Luminescence for Biological Labeling • allows the dispersion of the particles in aqueous solution without loss of luminescence intensivity • the luminescence of polisiloxane-coated Gd2O3 nanoparticles is more intense than that in the case of the naked core Gd2O3 • in the presence of amino groups, organic dyes and biotargeting groups (nucleic acid, biotin, streptavid) were covalently linked to the polisiloxane network
Research work ‘Preparation and characterization of ZnS:Mn nanoparticles’
Results a) pH=4,82 b) pH=4,91
Results a) pH=4,82 b) pH=4,91
Results a) pH=4,82 b) pH=4,91
Summary • A wide range of future application • QDs have better properties than conventional Dyes • The luminescence of QDs @ SiOx systems is very intense • It’s not difficult to obtain • luminescent nanoparticles
