QDs' structures and properties were characterized by TEM (transmission electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and fluorescence microscopy. For those as-synthesized Zn1_xCdxS QDs, when the molar ratio between Zn and Cd changed from 1 to 0, its photoluminescence (PL) emission peak shifted from 430 nm to 675 nm. PL emission quantum efficiency was up to 15%. The experiment results demonstrated that those alloyed QDs showed a good biocompatibility and could be used as labelling materials in cell biology.展开更多
