Applications for semiconductor nanoparticles: from biomedicine to optics

Obiettivo

Emphasis is put worldwide on the investigation of fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles NPs (quantum dots). Some of the most profusely investigated materials are cadmium selenide CdSe and cadmium sulphide CdS.

As a result, a great knowledge on synthesis methods, surface chemistry, crystallinity and high photoluminiscent properties yields are on stage. These materials are best suitable for high fluorescence quantum yields, photostability, and colour control by size quantisation.

The research programme o f this proposal will concentrate on the synthesis CdSe/CdS core-shell nanoparticles in different configurations and the exploration of the photoluminescence properties in different environments for technological applications. In particular, CdSe/CdS core-shell NPs either in spherical or rod-like shell will be synthesized.

The former particles will be studied as fluorescence labels for biomedical applications and the effect of the latter will be explored in a 2D and 3D photonic environment out of microsphere arrangements. Further step will involve the use of these CdSe/CdS photonic structures as the active layer in a light emitting diode (LED).

The purpose of the proposal is to explore the potential applications of high quality optimized semiconductor NPs from biomedicine to optics. The present project represents a multidisciplinary scheme gathering semiconductor nanoparticles in both biological and photonic environments with very promising applications.

The objectives proposed on this project properly fit with the needs of the European Union to carry out world-class research by the availability of skilled researchers and their capacity to produce, transfer and utilize knowledge.
