Rapid preparation of TiO2-SiO2 heterostructure photonic crystal in the near-infrared region via a modified electrophoresis-assisted self-assembly process
Gold nanocorals (AuNC) are obtained by a “green” method consisting of laser irradiation, followed by anisotropic self-assembly without templating agents. The AuNC dispersion has broadband plasmon absorption from the visible to near infrared region, unitary light-to-heat conversion efficiency, versatile surface chemistry and biocompatibility.
Lanthanides (LnIII) are well known for their characteristic emission in the Near-Infrared Region (NIR). However, direct excitation of lanthanides is not feasible as described by Laporte’s parity selection rule. Here,...
InP quantum dots (QDs) are considered as the most promising alternative to Cd-based QDs with the lower toxicity and emission spectrum tunability ranging from visible to near-infrared region. Although high-quality...
