Multiphoton Emission Enhancement from a Single Colloidal Quantum Dot Using SiO<sub>2</sub>-Coated Silver Nanoparticles.

Project description:The enhancement of multiphoton emission from a single colloidal nanocrystal quantum dot (NQD) interacting with a plasmonic nanostructure was investigated using SiO2-coated silver nanoparticles (Ag/SiO2) as the plasmonic nanostructure. Using Ag/SiO2 with five different SiO2 shell thicknesses, we observed modification of the emission behavior depending on the distance between the NQD and silver nanoparticle (AgNP). The single-photon emission from a single NQD converted to multiphoton emission with a shortening of the emission lifetime as the NQD-AgNP distance decreased, whereas an increase and decrease in the emission intensity were observed. From the distance-dependent results, we concluded that the probability of multiphoton emission was increased by the quenching of the single-exciton state due to energy transfer from the NQD to the AgNP and that the emission intensity was modified by the enhancement of the excitation rate and quenching. These results indicate that the plasmonic nanostructure is very effective in controlling the emission photon statistics, that is, single- and multi-photon emission and the emission intensity from the single NQD, which is difficult to achieve in an NQD alone.

Plasmon-Enhanced Blue-Light Emission of Stable Perovskite Quantum Dot Membranes.

Project description:A series of stable and color-tunable MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dot membranes were fabricated via a cost-efficient high-throughput technology. MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots grown in-situ in polyvinylidene fluoride electrospun nanofibers exhibit extraordinary stability. As polyvinylidene fluoride can prevent the molecular group MA+ from aggregating, MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots are several nanometers and monodisperse in polyvinylidene fluoride fiber. As-prepared MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dot membranes exhibit the variable luminous color by controlling the Cl- content of MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots. To improve blue-light emission efficiency, we successfully introduced Ag nanoparticle nanofibers into MAPbBr1.2Cl1.8 quantum dot membranes via layer-by-layer electrospinning and obtained ~4.8 folds fluorescence enhancement for one unit. Furthermore, the originality explanation for the fluorescence enhancement of MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots is proposed based on simulating optical field distribution of the research system.

Hybrid silver nanoparticle/conjugated polyelectrolyte nanocomposites exhibiting controllable metal-enhanced fluorescence.

Project description:Metal-enhanced fluorescence of conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPs) is realized using a simple, green hybrid Ag nanocomposite film. Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are pre-prepared by sodium citrate reduction and incorporated into agarose by mixing to form an Ag-containing agarose film (Ag@agarose). Through variation of the amount of Ag NPs in the Ag@agarose film as well as the thickness of the interlayer between CPs and the Ag@agarose film prepared of layer-by-layer assembly of chitosan and sodium alginate, a maximum 8.5-fold increase in the fluorescence of CPs is obtained. After introducing tyrosinase, this system also can be used to detect phenolic compounds with high sensitivity and good visualization under ultraviolet light.

Hybrid semiconducting polymer dot-quantum dot with narrow-band emission, near-infrared fluorescence, and high brightness.

Project description:This communication describes a new class of semiconducting polymer nanoparticle-quantum dot hybrid with high brightness, narrow emission, near-IR fluorescence, and excellent cellular targeting capability. Using this approach, we circumvented the current difficulty with obtaining narrow-band-emitting and near-IR-fluorescing semiconducting polymer nanoparticles while combining the advantages of both semiconducting polymer nanoparticles and quantum dots. We further demonstrated the use of this new class of hybrid nanomaterial for effective and specific cellular and subcellular labeling without any noticeable nonspecific binding. This hybrid nanomaterial is anticipated to find use in a variety of in vitro and in vivo biological applications.

PEGylation of protein-imprinted nanocomposites sandwiching CdTe quantum dots with enhanced fluorescence sensing selectivity.

Project description:Fluorescent sensors combining the selective recognition of protein molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and the fluorescent sensing of quantum dots (QDs) have been studied considerably, but their fluorescence sensing selectivity for the target proteins remains to be increased. Herein, we propose a strategy for increasing the sensing selectivity by post-imprinting PEGylation of surface protein-imprinted nanocomposites with embedded QDs. With bovine hemoglobin (BHb) as a model protein template, protein MIP nanolayers were anchored over the CdTe QD decorated SiO2 nanoparticles by the sol-gel process using aminopropyltriethoxy silane and tetraethoxysilicane. PEG chains were then grafted onto the surface of the imprinted nanostructures via the nucleophilic reaction of the surface amine groups with N-hydroxysuccinimide ester-terminal methoxy-PEG, followed by template removal. The resultant PEGylated sensors showed significantly improved aqueous dispersion stability compared with the non-PEGylated controls. More importantly, such PEGylation greatly increased the fluorescence response selectivity, with the Stern-Volmer equation based imprinting factor increasing from 2.7 to 5.4. The PEGylated sensors were applied to determine BHb in bovine serum samples with satisfactory recoveries at three spiking levels ranging from 94.3 to 103.7%, indicating their potential application in real samples.

Field-emission from quantum-dot-in-perovskite solids.

Project description:Quantum dot and well architectures are attractive for infrared optoelectronics, and have led to the realization of compelling light sensors. However, they require well-defined passivated interfaces and rapid charge transport, and this has restricted their efficient implementation to costly vacuum-epitaxially grown semiconductors. Here we report solution-processed, sensitive infrared field-emission photodetectors. Using quantum-dots-in-perovskite, we demonstrate the extraction of photocarriers via field emission, followed by the recirculation of photogenerated carriers. We use in operando ultrafast transient spectroscopy to sense bias-dependent photoemission and recapture in field-emission devices. The resultant photodiodes exploit the superior electronic transport properties of organometal halide perovskites, the quantum-size-tuned absorption of the colloidal quantum dots and their matched interface. These field-emission quantum-dot-in-perovskite photodiodes extend the perovskite response into the short-wavelength infrared and achieve measured specific detectivities that exceed 1012 Jones. The results pave the way towards novel functional photonic devices with applications in photovoltaics and light emission.

Spatially uniform enhancement of single quantum dot emission using plasmonic grating decoupler.

Project description:We demonstrate a spatially uniform enhancement of individual quantum dot (QD) fluorescence emission using plasmonic grating decouplers on thin gold or silver films. Individual QDs are deposited within the grating in a controlled way to investigate the position dependency on both the radiation pattern and emission enhancement. We also describe the optimization of the grating decoupler. We achieve a fluorescence enhancement ~3 times higher than using flat plasmon film, for any QD position in the grating.

Quantum yield and lifetime data analysis for the UV curable quantum dot nanocomposites.

Project description:The quantum yield (QY) and lifetime are the important parameters for the photoluminescent materials. The data here report the changes of the QY and lifetime for the quantum dot (QD) nanocomposite after the UV curing of the urethane acrylate prepolymer. The data were collected based on the water soluble CdTe QDs and urethane acrylate prepolymer. Colloidal QDs were in various concentration from 0.5×10(-3) molL(-1) to 10×10(-3) molL(-1), and 1% (wt%) 1173 was the photoinitiator. The QY before the curing was 56.3%, 57.8% and 58.6% for the QDs 510 nm, 540 nm and 620 nm, respectively. The QY after the curing was changed to 8.9%, 9.6% and 13.4% for the QDs 510 nm, 540 nm and 620 nm, respectively. Lifetime data showed that the lifetime was changed from 23.71 ns, 24.55 ns, 23.52 ns to 1.29 ns, 2.74 ns, 2.45 ns for the QDs 510 nm, 540 nm and 620 nm, respectively.

Isotopically enhanced triple-quantum-dot qubit.

Project description:Like modern microprocessors today, future processors of quantum information may be implemented using all-electrical control of silicon-based devices. A semiconductor spin qubit may be controlled without the use of magnetic fields by using three electrons in three tunnel-coupled quantum dots. Triple dots have previously been implemented in GaAs, but this material suffers from intrinsic nuclear magnetic noise. Reduction of this noise is possible by fabricating devices using isotopically purified silicon. We demonstrate universal coherent control of a triple-quantum-dot qubit implemented in an isotopically enhanced Si/SiGe heterostructure. Composite pulses are used to implement spin-echo type sequences, and differential charge sensing enables single-shot state readout. These experiments demonstrate sufficient control with sufficiently low noise to enable the long pulse sequences required for exchange-only two-qubit logic and randomized benchmarking.

On-demand spin-state manipulation of single-photon emission from quantum dot integrated with metasurface.

Project description:The semiconductor quantum dot (QD) has been successfully demonstrated as a potentially scalable and on-chip integration technology to generate the triggered photon streams that have many important applications in quantum information science. However, the randomicity of these photon streams emitted from the QD seriously compromises its use and especially hinders the on-demand manipulation of the spin states. Here, by accurately integrating a QD and its mirror image onto the two foci of a bifocal metalens, we demonstrate the on-demand generation and separation of the spin states of the emitted single photons. The photon streams with different spin states emitted from the QD can be flexibly manipulated to propagate along arbitrarily designed directions with high collimation of the smallest measured beaming divergence angle of 3.17°. Our work presents an effectively integrated quantum method for the simultaneously on-demand manipulation of the polarization, propagation, and collimation of the emitted photon streams.
