ABSTRACTFluorescence intermittency, or “blinking” in quantum dot systems has been the subject of great interest since the first observation of this phenomenon nearly 10 years ago. The stability of quantum dot fluorescence emission is especially important in the context of photovoltaic, optoelectronic, and biological applications, where device performance, or the ability to track labeled particles, is affected adversely by fluorescence intermittency. Single-molecule spectroscopy combined with atomic force microscopy measurements reveal that CdSe quantum dots functionalized with oligo(phenylene vinylene), OPV, ligands exhibit modified optical properties such as suppression of blinking when compared to conventional TOPO covered or ZnS-capped CdSe quantum dots. The blinking suppression is shown to be highly sensitive to the degree of ligand coverage on the quantum dot surface and this effect is interpreted as resulting from charge transport from photoexcited OPV into vacant trap sites on the quantum dot surface. This direct surface derivatization of quantum dots with organic ligands also enables a “tunable” quantum dot surface that allows dispersion of quantum dots in a variety of polymer supported thin films without phase segregation. This facilitates straightforward inclusion of these new hybrid materials into solid state formats and suggests exciting new applications of composite quantum dot/organic systems in optoelectronic systems.

In this work the synthesis of visible ZnO quantum dots (QDs) functionalized/stabilized with oleic acid and core-shelled with SiO2 is presented. A colloidal route was followed to synthesize ZnO QDs with 5 nm average size. Several characterizations were done to identify and assure the core, the stabilization, grain size and QDs emission characteristics. Techniques like FT-IR, XRD, TEM, SEM, UV-Vis, PL and an UV lamp were used to test composition, structural, morphological and emission of the as obtained quantum dots. After the structural and morphological characterization of the particles, they were functionalized with (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS).  It was observed that the size and morphology are unchanged but the stability depends directly on the APTMS oversaturation which is due to the formation of a thick SiO2 layer. From the PL characterization results it was noticed that the strong green emission is related to the APTMS content and directly related to the shell formation, this emission decreases as the core-shell thickness increases.
