ABSTRACTZnS quantum dots (QDs) chemically synthesized in PVP stabilizing medium have been coated with Zn(OH)2, SiO2and polystyrene (PS) shells as inorganic and organic passivation agents. to synthesize ZnS/Zn(OH)2, ZnS/SiO2and ZnS/PS QDs. PL properties of inorganically passivated ZnS/Zn(OH)2 and ZnS/SiO2 had reported band edge enhancement of 8-10 times, while organically passivated ZnS/PS QDs exhibit tremendous enhancement of band edge emission as much as 10-15 times,. Therefore inorganic and organic coating can passivate trap states of different energies on the surface of ZnS QDs.

The high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) image showed that selfassembled ZnSe small quantum dots (QDs) and large nanodots with a pyramid shape were formed in the Cl-doped ZnSe epilayers grown on GaAs (100) substrates. The formation of the ZnSe QDs was attributed to three-dimensional growth controlled by distribution of the impurities in the Cldoped ZnSe epilayrs. Cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements at room temperature revealed the emission peak at 3.1 eV corresponding to the blue shift approximately 400 meV from the near band edge emission of 2.7 eV in the bulk ZnSe. The blue shifted CL peak indicates the quantum confinement effect resulting from the formation of the ZnSe QDs in the Cl-doped ZnSe thin film. While the peak position of the donor-acceptor pair emission shifted to higher energies with decreasing temperature, the band-edge emission peak for the QDs did not significantly change.

AbstractIn sunscreens, ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are used as inorganic UV filter which have a prominent band edge emission in the UVA region (~385 nm). When applied to biological surface, this highly penetrating UVA emission from ZnO NPs would enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species resulting in oxidative stress. Therefore, the elimination of this harmful UVA emission from ZnO NPs are much sought after for the development of safer sunscreens. In this paper we introduce the use of defect-rich ZnO (D-ZnO) quantum dots (QDs) as a multifunctional active ingredient in sunscreen/cosmetic application. These D-ZnO QDs make use of their defect energy levels to emit in visible region by bypassing their harmful band edge emission at UVA region. The D-ZnO QDs also showed prominent visible luminescence which matches well with the autofluorescence of in vivo human skin. Hence, this visible luminescence could be useful for camouflaging, thereby enabling its potential as a biologically safe active ingredient for both cosmetic and UV screening applications.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the synthesis, characterization and optical properties of binary and ternary mercury chalcogenide quantum dots and clusters. Such materials were made by applying a synthetic strategy involving the simultaneous use of strong Hg(II) coordinating ligands and the explicit phase separation of both metal and chalcogen precursors. High quality QDs and clusters are obtained in this manner with sharply structured absorption and band edge emission covering the visible to near infrared.

ABSTRACTWurtzite structure monodisperse ZnS quantum dots (QDs) of 1 to 5 nm diameter, synthesized by colloidal chemical method, were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and electron diffraction (ED) patterns. Enhanced blue shifted band edge emission from Zn(OH)2 capped ZnS QDs with decreasing size has been observed, which indicates the role of inorganic surface passivation and hence supports the quantum size effect. Detectable far-red shifted emission from bare ZnS QDs has been observed when QDs precursors and stabilizer dispersed in solvents with different polarities. This emission is attributed to the surface trap states of different energies.
