Fluorescent-Plasmonic Quantum Dot-Gold based Nanohybrids: Basic Research for Next Generation Materials and Tracking of Biological Events

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,
A novel hybrid nanoparticle is presented based on encapsulated fluorescent CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS core/shell/shell quantum dots (QDs) with zwitterionic capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This hybrid is fully characterizes by variouse techniques including optical spectroscopy, (cryo) transmission electron [...]
