During the past two decades, great effort has been dedicated to two-photon excited colloidal
quantum dots (QDs) because of their unique optical properties and significant applications …

A variety of silicon-based nanostructures with dimensions in the 1–5 nm range now emit
tunable photoluminescence (PL) spanning the visible range. Achievement of high …

The DNA degradation potential and anti-cancer activities of copper nanoparticles of 4-5 nm
size are reported. A dose dependent degradation of isolated DNA molecules by copper …

Once considered an inert element, gold has recently gained attention as a catalyst. With
hundreds of papers being published each year, this book presents a comprehensive review …

Two-photon excitation in the near-infrared (NIR) of colloidal nanocrystalline silicon quantum
dots (nc-SiQDs) with photoluminescence also in the NIR has potential opportunities in the …

Carbon dots (surface‐passivated small carbon nanoparticles) are crosslinked to result in
fluorescence probes containing one or multiple dots. For the single‐dot probes, the …

Blue light luminescent Si nanoparticles (NPs) have many potential applications in
optoelectronics. However, blue light emission from Si is not stable in many cases, which …

We report the synthesis of silicon nanocrystalsvia a one-step route, namely, femtosecond
laser ablation in 1-hexene under ambient conditions. The size of these silicon nanocrystals …

Fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) might be one of the excellent candidates for use
as optical markers in biological profiling and diagnostic applications. To exploit this …

The properties of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) make them attractive electrode
materials/additives for the development of low-cost, simple to use and highly sensitive …
