Visible Light Emission from Si-related Nanostructures and the Effect of Ambient Atmosphere on Photoluminescence

Tsai M.-Y., Chi C.-C., Perng T.P., National Tsing Hua University, TW

Two different types of visible light emission were observed from the Si-related nanostructures prepared by vapor condensation in an Ar-5%O2 atmosphere at various working pressures (1, 30, 50, and 100 torr). The specimen prepared at [...]

DNA-Based Nanotechnology: Highly Luminescent CdSe – DNA Nanoscale – Engineered Complexes

Kislov V., Artemyev M., Khomutov G., Russian Academy of Sciences, RU

We present some new results within the concept of using DNA molecules as building blocks and nanotemplates for controllable fabrication of various bioinorganic nanostructures due to their unique physical-chemical properties and recognition capabilities and the [...]

Synthesis of Y2O3:Eu Phosphor Nanoparticles by Flame Spray Pyrolysis

Qin X., Ju Y., Bernhard S., Yao N., Princeton University, US

Nanoscale Y2O3:Eu phosphor particles were synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis method and the effects of precursor solution and annealing treatment were discussed. The flame spray pyrolysis system consists of a spray generator, a coflow burner, [...]

Growth of InAs Quantum Dots Using the Strained Superlattices and Their Optical Properties

Leem J-Y, Choi H-K, Jeon M.H., Lee J.W., Leem J-Y, Cho G.S., Choi H-K, Department of Optical Engineering, KR

we have studied the growth of self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) using Stranski-Krastanow growth mode and strain-reducing layers for long-wavelength applications with narrow linewidth in photoluminescence (PL) emission. InAs QDs were grown on the strained superlattices, [...]

Photoluminescence and Photoluminescence Excitation Measurements of Eu-Doped Nano-Si/SiO2 Thin Films

Nery G.A., Fonseca L.F., Liu H., Resto O., Weisz S.Z., University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras, PR

Europium (Eu) ions are already used in significant visual technological applications. We attempted to determine if a silicon nanoparticle (nano-Si) / Europium interaction could occur. The energy transfer from nano-Si to rare earth ions has [...]
