The CdSe QDs of green emission and the core-shell CdSe/ZnS QDs of red emission were prepared. Subsequently the trioctylphosphine oxide-stabilized CdSe/ZnS QDs were transferred from chloroform into water through a ligand exchange process with poly(glycino amino acid)phosphazenes, which can be obtained from the saponification of poly (glycino amino ester)phosphazenes at room temperature. The resulting QDs-polymer nanocomposite particles can form colloidally stable suspensions in water and exhibit good photostability.展开更多

The sizes of the nc-Si samples are demonstrated to be 〈 S nm. The doping levels of the nc-Si are found to be nonlinearly dependent on the original doping level of the wafers by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement. It is found that the nonlinear doping process will lead to the nonlinear chemical passivation and photoluminescence （I3L） intensity evolution. The doping, chemical passivation and PL mechanisms of the doped nc-Si samples prepared by mechanochemical synthesis are analyzed in detail.展开更多

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.展开更多
