ABSTRACTBio-conjugated CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) attract essential scientific interest due to their possible nano-medicine applications, including selective highlighting of affected tissues and targeted drug delivery to the certain type of cells. The paper is focused on the theoretical description of the blue shift observed in the luminescence spectra of CdSe/ZnS QDs upon their bio-conjugation with the anti-interleukin-10 antibodies. We propose a model that describes the ground state of the exciton confined in a quantum dot and explaining the bio-conjugation phenomenon by the change of the effective confinement volume.

AbstractThe results of studies of the optical properties of ensembles of colloidal CdS quantum dots passivated by thioglycolic acid are reported. The average dimensions of the quantum dots lie in the range from 1.7 to 5.8 nm. By X-ray diffraction studies and Raman spectroscopy, it is established that quantum dots crystallize with the formation of a cubic crystal lattice. The systematic features of the quantum-confinement effect in the optical absorption and luminescence spectra, as well as in the luminescence excitation spectra, are established. The features manifest themselves as a blue shift of the corresponding bands with decreasing quantum-dot dimensions. From analysis of the nanosecond luminescence kinetics, it is concluded that experimentally observed radiative recombination proceeds by the donor–acceptor mechanism.

Glycan-decorated biomaterials binding lectins are applied in bioimaging, targeted drug delivery, diagnostic and analytic methods. They comprise glycosylated nanoparticles, quantum dots, glycoarrays, glycopolymer clusters, micelles, and scaffolds based on aromatic, calixarene cores, glycopeptides or polysaccharides.

ABSTRACTThe photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence temperature dependences have been studied in InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in the In0.15Ga1–0.15As/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) with QDs grown at different temperatures (470–535 °C). Ground state (GS) related QD PL peaks shift into the red side with increasing QD growth temperature to 510 °C and the blue shift is observed when the temperature increased to 535 °C. The temperature dependences of GS PL peak positions were fitted on the base of Varshni relation and the fitting parameters were compared with the bulk InAs and the In0.21Ga0.79As allow. This comparison has revealed that for QDs grown at 490–510 °C the PL fitting parameters are the same as for the bulk InAs crystal. The DWELL structures with QDs grown at other temperatures have fitting parameters different from the bulk InAs. Last fact testifies that in these structures the Ga/In inter-diffusion between QDs and a QW has been realized. This Ga/In intermixture can be stimulated not only by the high temperature (535 °C), but by the essential elastic stress as well in the DWELL structure with lower QD densities.
