Optical Characteristics of Colloidal Nanoparticles of CdS Stabilized with Sodium Polyphosphate and Their Behavior during Pulse Photoexcitation

The optical and photophysical characteristics of quantum-dimensional particles of CdS stabilized in water (the oscillator force of the first exciton transition, the forbidden band width, the conduction and valence band potentials) were determined. It was established that pulse excitation of CdS nanoparticles gives rise to nonstationary bleaching of the colloid, due to the accumulation of excess electrons in the conduction band. Their amount and their consumption rate are determined by the nature and concentration of the electron donors and acceptors present in the system.

Synthesis of Zinc Blende CdTe Nanocrystals and Facile Shape Conversion from Multipods to Dot-shaped Particles

Branched CdTe nanocrystals with zinc blende structure were directly synthesized in the early growth stage at a high initial concentration of cadmium precursor and a high molar ratio of Cd precursor to Te precuesor. Activation of the cadmium precursor by octadecylamine was found to be critical for the formation of branched CdTe nanocrystals. Furthermore, these as-prepared CdTe nanocrystals can evolve into nearly monodisperse dots through Ostwald ripening and still keep strong photoluminescence. These results manifest a new route to synthesize branch- and dot-shaped CdTe nanocrystals with zinc blende structure.

Photophysical Properties of Au‐CdTe Hybrid Nanostructures of Varying Sizes and Shapes

We design well‐defined metal‐semiconductor nanostructures using thiol‐functionalized CdTe quantum dots (QDs)/quantum rods (QRs) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein‐conjugated Au nanoparticles (NPs)/nanorods (NRs) in aqueous solution. The main focus of this article is to address the impacts of size and shape on the photophysical properties, including radiative and nonradiative decay processes and energy transfers, of Au‐CdTe hybrid nanostructures. The red shifting of the plasmonic band and the strong photoluminescence (PL) quenching reveal a strong interaction between plasmons and excitons in these Au‐CdTe hybrid nanostructures. The PL quenching of CdTe QDs varies from 40 to 86 % by changing the size and shape of the Au NPs. The radiative as well as the nonradiative decay rates of the CdTe QDs/QRs are found to be affected in the presence of both Au NPs and NRs. A significant change in the nonradiative decay rate from 4.72×10⁶ to 3.92×10¹⁰ s^?1 is obtained for Au NR‐conjugated CdTe QDs. It is seen that the sizes and shapes of the Au NPs have a pronounced effect on the distance‐dependent energy transfer. Such metal‐semiconductor hybrid nanostructures should have great potentials for nonlinear optical properties, photovoltaic devices, and chemical sensors.     

Preparation,characterization and biocompatibility of aspartic acid modified CdTe quantum dots

This study aims at preparing water soluble aspartic acid （ASP） modified CdTe quantum dots with tunable fluorescence emission controlled by reaction time. The size of the synthesized CdTe quantum dots was evaluated using transmission electron microscope （TEM） and also calculated based on their UV-vis spectra. The optical properties of TGA-CdTe quantum dots were characterized by UV-vis and fluorescence （FL） spectroscopy. The red-shift in the UV-vis absorption and FL emission with the increase of reaction time was observed. The biocompatibility examination indicated that the ASP modified CdTe QDs had low cytotoxicity.     

Controlled Synthesis of Nanoscale CdTe Urchins

We presented a simple route to prepare nanoscale CdTe urchins in a tri-n-octylphosphine oxide(TOPO)system.CdTe urchins consisted of a core and several attached arms.The arms were ca.3 nm wide,and their lengths could be controlled with the reaction time.The authors investigated the optical absorption and structural properties of the prepared CdTe.The lengths of the arms could be tuned into CdTe nanourchins,which led to a change in the photophysical properties of the nanoscale CdTe urchins.The results,including transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and absorption spectra,indicated that mesoporous silica and aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES) contributed to the formation of nanoscale CdTe urchins.
