Fabrication of type-I indium-based near-infrared emitting quantum dots for biological imaging applications
Mushonga, Paul (University of the Western Cape, 2013)Semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) are fluorescent nanometer-sized particles which have physical dimensions that are smaller than the excitonic Bohr radius, large surface area-to-volume ratios, broad ... -
Synthesis and characterization of zinc-doped magnetic nanoparticles for diagnostic studies
Allard, Garvin Richard Johan (University of the Western Cape, 2015)In the present study we report the synthesis and characterization of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles doped with zinc in an attempt to enhance the magnetic properties. The nanoparticles were prepared via the co-precipitation ...
