We studied the effect of solvent vapours on the photoluminescent emission of self-assembled InP surface quantum dots (SQDs). Their room temperature near infrared emission undergoes a fully reversible intensity enhancement when the dots were exposed to vapours of polar solvents since polar molecules are likely to be adsorbed onto intrinsic surface states and thus reducing non radiative surface recombination. The shape and position of the emission band does not change. The observed effect is dependent on solvent type and concentration with linear law over a limited concentration range.

In this paper, semiconductor quantum dot structures for mid-infrared emission were self-assembled on InP substrate by using metal–organic vapor phase epitaxy growth. The InAs quantum dots grown at different conditions have been investigated. To improve the grown quantum dot's shape, the dot density and the dot size uniformity, a two-step growth method has been used and investigated. By changing the composition of the In x Ga 1-x As matrix layer of the InAs / In x Ga 1-x As / InP quantum dot structure, emission wavelength of the InAs quantum dot structure has been extended to the longest > 2.35 μm measured at 77 K. For the narrower bandgap semiconductor InAsSb quantum dots, the emission wavelength was measured at > 2.8 μm.

AbstractThis report of the reddest emitting indium phosphide quantum dots (InP QDs) to date demonstrates tunable, near infrared (NIR) photoluminescence and fluorescence multiplexing in the first optical tissue window with a material that avoids toxic constituents. This synthesis overcomes the InP synthesis “growth bottleneck” and extends the emission peak of InP QDs deeper into the first optical tissue window using an inverted QD heterostructure. The ZnSe/InP/ZnS core/shell/shell structure is designed to produce emission from excitons with heavy holes confined in InP shells wrapped around larger-bandgap ZnSe cores and protected by a second shell of ZnS. The InP QDs exhibit InP shell thickness-dependent tunable emission with peaks ranging from 515 – 845 nm. The high absorptivity of InP leads to effective absorbance and photoexcitation of the QDs with UV, visible, and NIR wavelengths in particles with diameters of eight nanometers or less. These nanoparticles extend the range of tunable direct-bandgap emission from InP-based nanostructures, effectively overcoming a synthetic barrier that has prevented InP-based QDs from reaching their full potential as NIR imaging agents. Multiplexed lymph node imaging in a mouse model shows the potential of the NIR-emitting InP particles for in vivo imaging.
