Fabrication of luminescent nanocomposites for diagnosis of breast cancer
Ayabei, Kiplagat (University of the Western Cape, 2016)In this study we were able to synthesize separately iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, InP/ZnSe and CdTe/ZnS quantum dots. The iron oxide nanoparticles were coupled with InP/ZnSe QDs to form the luminescent magnetic ... -
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, optical and morphological characterization of pbse quantum dots for diagnostic studies: a model study
Ouma, Linda Achiengꞌ (University of the Western Cape, 2013)In this study PbSe quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized via the organometallic and aqueous routes. Optical characterization was carried out using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, structural and morphological ...
