The study of the chemistry of compounds containing Si-O bonds has for many years been
dominated by both silica and minerals for which the formula unit SiO2 is important, or by the …

There is a great need for solar cell based energy resources due to the rapid growth in price
of fossil fuels and the great danger of increasing greenhouse effect caused by carbon …

Surface plasmon (SP) enhanced photoluminescence (PL) from CdTe quantum dots (QDs)
on monolayers of Au nanoparticles is investigated under both resonant and nonresonant …

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CdTe quantum dots (QDs) at nanoscale
proximity to gold nanoparticle (Au NP) layers is investigated experimentally. We have …

The protection of silver nanoprisms against etching by the epitaxial deposition of a thin layer
of gold in solution has been investigated. It has been found that at low Au/Ag ratios (∼ 0.08 …

The fabrication of colloidal and temperature stable microcapsules for encapsulation of
biomolecules based on matrix-assisted layer-by-layer (LbL) encapsulation by polyelectrolyte …

A facile approach for modification of solid substrates with multidentate imidazole ligands
was developed for immobilization of high densities of quantum dots (QDs) that were capped …

We report a branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI)–quantum dot (QD) based rewritable
fluorescent system with a multicolor recording mode, in which BPEI is both QD-multicolor …

The photoluminescence of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) in different configurations at solid
surfaces (glass, silicon, PDMS, and metals) is considered for three types of organization …

Understanding interactions between functional nanoparticles and lipid bilayers is important
to many emerging biomedical and bioanalytical applications. In this paper, we report …
