1 Nanoparticles, nanocrystals, and quantum dots What they are, why they re interesting, and what we can do with them J. Nadeau, Department of Biomedical Engineering
2 Colloidal nanocrystals of different materials
3 And different geometries From: Science January 28; 307(5709):
4 Medieval Nanotechnology! The colors in some stainedglass windows from medieval cathedrals are probably due to nanocrystals of compouds of Zn, Cd, S, and Se.
5 History of nanoparticles 1980 Ekimov observed quantum confinement on a sample of glass containing PbS Brus L. s group conducted CdS colloid preparation and investigation of band-edge luminescence properties Murray C., Norris D., Bawendi M., Synthesis and Characterization of Nearly Monodisperse CdE (E=S, Se, Te) Semiconductor Nanocrystallites Hines M., Guyot-Sionnest P., reported synthesis and Characterization of Strongly Luminescent ZnS-Capped CdSe Nanocrystals 1998 Alivisatos and Nie independently reported Bio-application for core shell dots Nie s group described Quantum dot-tagged microbeads for multiplexed optical coding of biomolecules T. Sargent at UOT observed electroluminescence spanning nm originating from PbS nanocrystals embedded in a polymer matrix.
6 What is a quantum dot? Synthesis Quantum mechanics Optical properties What is it good for? Interesting physics Applications in optoelectronics Applications in biology
7 Synthesis
8 Quick review of semiconductors A semiconductor has a forbidden zone or band gap between the conduction and valence band When an electron is excited into the conduction band, there is a hole left in the valence band; this pair is an exciton pair When the size of the crystal is comparable to the exciton Bohr radius, the confinement energy becomes signficant at this point we have a quantum dot
9
10 Quantum mechanics of QDs Energy 0 e- h+ E e = h2 2 nl 2m* +E gap ( ) e E h = h2 2 nl 2m* h E CB = m h * E VB m* e = 3.2 (wurzite ) Bulk CdSe Q dot Because of these quantized energy levels, QDs are more like atoms than like bulk materials--earning them the name artificial atoms
11 This is an oversimplification Box wells are not infinite Particles aren t spherical Boundary conditions must be considered We assume only a single electron However--the approximation is surprisingly good!
12 Size-dependent spectra Temporal evolution of CdSe nanocrystals A nm (5 s) 2.6 nm (20 s) 3.0 nm ( 1 min) 3.3 nm (1.5 min) 3.6 nm (2 min) 4.2 nm (30min,rt) WL/nm
13 250 Emission CdSe nanocrystals nm 3.0 nm 3.2 nm 3.6 nm Intensity Wavelength (nm)
14 Characterization AFM image of a cluster of CdSe nanocrystals (3.3 nm). Image size 70nm x70 nm
15 HR TEM shows lattice structure
16 So what is it good for? 3 to 10 nm CdSe, CdS, ZnS,CdTe, etc Emission wavelength is related to the size of the crystal Slow to photobleach and radiation resistant 1Normalized intensities Emission can be quenched/modulated by attaching electron donors or acceptors to the surface Absorption Emission Can be suspended in aqueous and nonaqueous environments Many colors obtained with a single UV excitation source (nm) Surface can be conjugated to chemically and biologically important molecules
17 Interesting physics! Trap states Stokes shift Stark Effect Blinking
18 The importance of surface states More than half the atoms are at the surface
19 How to probe surface states Transient absorption spectroscopy Electron and hole acceptors quench PL ==> PL results from exciton recombination Burda et al, J. Phys. Chem. B, 105 (49), , 2001
20 What causes the Stokes shift? Exciton fine structure Independent of surface Norris and Bawendi, JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS 103 (13): OCT
21 Blinking
22 On and off states Many groups have found that off states follow a power law On times more controversial; perhaps power law, perhaps power law convoluted with exponential
23 Two Models Fluctuating distribution of electron traps in the immediate vicinity of, but external to, the QD. Tunneling of the electron out of the QD results in a charged particle, quenching emission (Kuno et al. 2003, Phys. Rev. B 67, ). Internal hole traps, presumably at surface states or crystal imperfection sites. Energetic diffusion of the electronic states results in a time-dependent resonance condition in which Auger-assisted trapping of the hole results in an off state (Frantsuzov and Marcus 2005, Phys. Rev. B 72, )
24 Stark Effect Shift in energy with electric field Permanent dipole moment: dependence as E Polarizability: as E 2 QDs show both aspects, but E dependence is only seen in singledot studies (not ensembles) Empedocles and Bawendi, Science 19 December 1997: Vol no. 5346, p 2114
25
26 Uses of Stark Effect Becker et al., Nature Materials 5, (2006)
27 Interesting applications! Biological labels Single-particle tracking Biosensors Memory Solar cells Etc
28 Biological labeling: neurons and glia Pathak, S. et al. J. Neurosci. 2006;26: Copyright 2006 Society for Neuroscience
29 Single-particle tracking From: Science January 28; 307(5709):
30 QDs as biosensors Doxorubicin (adriamycin) Dopamine
31 QD-dopamine as a redox sensor Energy CB h O, R h O R VB Dopamine is an excellent electron donor
32 Normal conditions
33 Reducing conditions
34 Uptake into cells
35 With antioxidants
36 Redox dependence
37 Addition of the glutathione synthesis inhibitor BSO (10 mm) affects the intracellular redox potential without altering that of the medium More oxidizing
38 Or more reducing
39 Photoenhancement

43 Summary QDs allow us to observe atomic physics at the almost macroscopic scale However, there are always complications due to surface states, solvent interactions, etc that make them more than a particle in a box A lot has been done, but a lot more remains to be done before we understand these particles and can use them in complex media
