Abstract:
Quantum dots are nearly spherical nanocrystals that have unique optical property which are in intermediate in size between bulk semiconductor and individual atom. Lead sulphide (PbS) nanoparticles are synthesized by the reaction between lead nitrate and sodium sulphide. This paper proposes a detection method of bacterial sample based on memristic properties of semiconductor quantum dots. In this case, PbS nanoparticle is considered for its good fluorescent property. PbS nanoparticle were synthesized and characterized by UV –visible spectroscopy, PL, XRD, SEM and HRTEM. The antimicrobial activity of Pbs and CdS quantum dots are observed in this paper. The potential application of these quantum dots as a biosensor is examined by conjugating bacterial stain E. coli and S. aureus and examining the current –voltage characteristics with E. coli.

Abstract:
Carbon “quantum” dots or carbon dots (CDots) exploit and enhance the intrinsic photoexcited state properties and processes of small carbon nanoparticles via effective nanoparticle surface passivation by chemical functionalization with organic species. The optical properties and photoinduced redox characteristics of CDots are competitive to those of established conventional semiconductor quantum dots and also fullerenes and other carbon nanomaterials. Highlighted here are major advances in the exploration of CDots for their serving as high-performance yet nontoxic fluorescence probes for one- and multi-photon bioimaging in vitro and in vivo, and for their uniquely potent antimicrobial function to inactivate effectively and efficiently some of the toughest bacterial pathogens and viruses under visible/natural or ambient light conditions. Opportunities and challenges in the further development of the CDots platform and related technologies are discussed.

Quantum dots are three-dimensional nanoparticles of semiconductors with typical sizes ranging from 2 to 10 nm. Due to the quantum confinement effect the energy gap increase with the size decreasing resulting in size-depended and fine-tunable optical characteristics.

These specific properties open a wide range of applications starting from optical and optoelectronic devices and ending with biosensing and life science. Temperature is one of those parameters influencing strongly on the optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals, which make them promising materials for temperature sensing, more often using a fluorescent response. Compared to the conventional organic dyes already applied in this field, quantum dots exhibit a set of advantages, such as high quantum yield and photostability, long fluorescence lifetime, higher Stokes shift, and ability to surface functionalization with targeted organic molecules aimed to provide them biocompatibility. In this review, we briefly discuss the properties of II-VI and assumingly less toxic I-III-VI quantum dots, mechanisms of temperature-induced fluorescence response, and the feasibility of their practical application in the field of thermal sensing.

Abstract The optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanoparticles make them valuable candidates for the long-term monitoring of transmembrane electric fields in excitable cells. In this work, we show that the electric field sensitivity of the fluorescence intensity of type-I and quasi-type-II quantum dots and quantum rods is enhanced under two-photon excitation compared to single-photon excitation. Based on the superior electric field sensitivity of the two-photon excited fluorescence, we demonstrate the ability of quantum dots and rods to track fast switching E-fields. These findings indicate the potential of semiconductor nanoparticles as cellular voltage probes in multiphoton imaging.

Abstract:
The ability to tune the electronic band gap of semiconductor nanoparticles or “quantum dots” by controlling their size simply by variation of the synthetic conditions has opened many possibilities for applications across a wide range of fields. Many of these applications, such as solar cells, catalysis, sensing and light emitting diodes involve charge transfer processes between the nanoparticles and an adjacent phase. In order to make that charge transfer as efficient as possible, knowledge pertaining to the absolute energy positions of the electronic levels of such nanoparticulate materials is of primary relevance. The determination of these values and the important parameters that influence them was therefore the central issue of the present work. An electrochemical approach was chosen so that the data obtained could be referred to an absolute energy scale.The ability to tune the electronic band gap of semiconductor nanoparticles or “quantum dots” by controlling their size simply by variation of the synthetic conditions has opened many possibilities for applications across a wide range of fields. Many of these applications, such as solar cells, catalysis, sensing and light emitting diodes involve charge transfer processes between the nanoparticles and an adjacent phase. In order to make that charge transfer as efficient as possible, knowledge pertaining to the absolute energy positions of the electronic levels of such nanoparticulate materials is of primary relevance. The determination of these values and the important parameters that influence them was therefore the central issue of the present work. An electrochemical approach was chosen so that the data obtained could be referred to an absolute energy scale. To achieve reliable measurements a new strategy was developed so that dense and homogeneous monolayers of semiconductor particles could be deposited onto transparent electrodes. The films were obtained by exchanging the original bulky ligand shell of the nanocrystals with a reactive alkoxysilane species and subsequent immersion of the substrate into a solution of the modified nanocrystals. SEM and electrochemical investigations have shown a much higher coverage efficiency in comparison with other methods presently established in the literature, which are based on the approach of prefunctionalizing of the substrates prior to coating. Fractional coverages of 80 % were obtained within 24 h while avoiding the time consuming and complicated step of functionalizing the substrates before deposition. Films of CdSe and CdS nanoparticles deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrodes were characterized by means of potential modulated absorption spectro-scopy (EMAS). Employing this special spectroelectrochemical technique, bleach signatures in the absorption spectra of the quantum dots induced by electron injection into their respective conduction band states were investigated. The features observed in the spectra and the evaluation of the potential dependence of the signal intensity revealed that only the lowest conduction band state, namely the 1Se state, is populated. The occupancy follows a quasi Fermi-Dirac distribution whose distributional width, in addition to the temperature, also depends on the size distribution of the particle ensemble investigated. On that basis a model was developed to extract the electrochemical potentials of the respective populated lowest conduction band states. For CdSe quantum dots the four energetically lowest excitonic transitions were found to become bleached as the 1Se state is populated, indicating that these transitions promote electrons from different states in the valence band to the same conduction band state. These findings are in excellent agreement with results obtained from ultra fast optical pump probe experiments, which are methods that usually demand much more experimental efforts than the technique presented in these studies. The determination of the potential of the 1Se state versus a known reference potential allows one to map the top valence band states with respect to an absolute energy scale. This provides the opportunity to compare the energy positions obtained for different samples. Determination of the electrochemical band edge potential clearly features a size dependent shift of the conduction band edge and the valence band edge for both CdSe and CdS quantum dots, which is in excellent agreement with the expected behavior due to the quantum confinement effect. Investigations in different electrolytes have shown that the immediate environment has a major impact on the electrochemical potentials of the energy levels of the nanoparticles. This observation is particularly important from a technological point of view, as in many applications the semiconductor material is in direct contact with an electrolyte as for example in quantum dot sensitized solar cells, electrochemical sensors and catalysis. In contrast to other “purely physical” methods such as photoelectron spectroscopy or scanning tunneling spectroscopy, potential-modulated absorption spectroscopy provides the ability to probe the materials under their most likely “working” conditions where such environmental influences can be directly taken into account. Further, it has been shown that potential modulated absorption spectroscopy can be applied to bulk semiconductor electrodes, as long as they are thin enough to allow adequate amounts of light to pass through. The features observed in the EMAS spectra of these samples clearly differ from those obtained for nanoparticle films, as in such materials a continuum of states is progressively filled rather than a single state. Besides band-filling the potential modulation additionally induces changes in the absorption, which can be attributed to the Franz-Keldysh effect resulting from the modulation of the electric field across the space charge layer. The resolution and sensitivity that one can obtain with this comparatively simple and cost-effective setup is quite remarkable. As has been demonstrated it was possible to achieve clearly resolved bleach spectra of submonolayers of quantum dots attached to FTO with optical densities below 0.001. Recently it has been reported that cyclic voltammetry (CV) can be used to study the size dependent positions of the electronic levels of quantum dots. The intention of the last part of this thesis was to reproduce this work for the nanoparticles investigated within this thesis in order to compare the results with those obtained by EMAS. However, the experiments undertaken here reveal that the anodic and cathodic peaks observed in the cyclic voltammograms cannot automatically be assigned to the absolute band edge positions of the particles as the size dependent peak positions and their potential differences do not show any evidence for a correlation with respect to the quantum size effect. Rather the voltammetric responses reflect the solid state electrochemical characteristics of CdSe. Theoretical considerations concerning the response expected in a CV due to band filling of semiconductor nanoparticles confined to an electrode surface revealed that the expected currents are quite similar to that of a pseudo-capacitance. However, pronounced signals are only obtained if appropriate amounts of deposited nanoparticles are present which are electronically addressable without hampering the charge transfer. Hence a clear assignment of the peaks obtained in a cyclic voltammogram to the electronic band edges without employing a complementary technique to confirm ones findings therefore seems to be at best questionable.

Aquests QDs han estat usats per estudiar la seva interacció amb l'or (que augmenta la seva intensitat de fluorescència), han estat encapsulats usant polímers per usar-los com a controls en citometria de flux i per silica per usar-los (un cop units a un peptido i un colorant orgànic adequat) com a detectors de fibrosi quística. Finalment també han estat usats en aquesta tesi per intentar seguir el moviment d'un receptor en plaquetes. En el segon bloc de la tesi es parla de up conversió nanoparticles, la diferència enfront dels QDs és que s'exciten a major longitud d'ona a la que emeten, pel que són capaços d'absorbir en el infraroig i emetre en el visible, fent-ideals per a aplicacions en biologia. En aquesta tesi es van usar per a reconèixer un receptor en neutrofilos i per introduir-lo dins de hidrotalcites (material que no és reconegut pel cos com estrany) per així poder alliberar-ho en l'organisme. Finalment, en el tercer bloc s'han sintetitzat materials per catalisis (sulfur de bismut) i per cel·les solars (òxid de titani)

This thesis is dedicated to the synthesis, characterization and application of different nanomaterials that are semiconductors. It is divided in three blocks, in the first one we talk about quantum dots (QDs), that are fluorescent nanoparticles whose wavelength of emission changes with size. Such materials are being used as substitutes of organic dyes, due to the many advantages they present, the main one is that the fluorescence is not lost with time. These QDs have been used to study their interaction with gold ( that increases the fluorescence intensity), they have been encapsulated with polimers to be used as controls in flow cytometry or by silica to use them as sensors for cystic fibrosis (once they have been attatched to the right polymer and dye). Finally, in this thesis, they have been also used to track the movement of a platelet receptor. In the second block we talk about up conversion nanoparticles, which only difference regarding QDs is that they are excited using a longer wavelength than the emission, so they are able to absorb in the infrared and emit in the visible range of light, making them ideal for biological applications. We have use this materials to recognice an specific receptor in neutrophils as well as to be surrounded by hydrotalcite (body friendly material) so it can be released in the organism. Finally, in the third block we have syntesized materials for catalysis (bismuth sulfide) and for solar cells (titanium oxide for perovskite solar cells).

This dissertation examines the chemistry and photophysics of semiconductor quantum dots with the intent of studying their capabilities and limitations as they pertain to photovoltaic technologies. Specifically, experiments are presented detailing the first time-resolved measurements of electron transfer in electronically coupled quantum rods. Electron transfer from the conduction band of CdTe was measured to occur on the 400 fs timescale (kET = 2.5 x 1012 s-1), more than 500x faster than previously believed. Additionally, the direct optical promotion of an electron from the valence band of CdTe was observed, occurring on the timescale of the pump pulse (~50 fs). Based on the determined injection rates, a carrier separation efficiency of > 90% has been calculated suggesting these materials are sufficient for use in solar energy capture applications where efficient carrier separation is critical. To this end, model photovoltaic cells were fabricated, and their power conversion efficiency and photon-to-current generation efficiency characterized. In devices based of CdSe and heteromaterial quantum rods we observed fill-factors on the order of 10-20% though with power conversion efficiencies of < 0.02%. It was discovered that using a high temperature annealing step, while critical to get electrochemically stable photoelectrodes, was detrimental to quantum confinement effects and likely removed any hQR specific capabilities. Additionally, a detailed study on the role of nucleotide triphosphate chemistry in stabilizing emissive CdS nanoparticles is presented. Specifically it was observed that in a neutral pH environment, GTP selectively stabilizes CdS quantum dots with diameters of ~4 nm while the other naturally occurring ribonucleotides do not yield emissive product. The selectivity is dependent on the presence of the nucleophilic N-7 electrons near a triphosphate pocket for Cd2+ complexation as well as an exocyclic amine to stabilize the resulting product particles. However, in an elevated pH environment, the nucleobase specificity is relaxed and all NTPs yield photo-emissive quantum dots with PLQEs as high as 10%

Abstract:
Semiconductor quantum dots and metal nanoparticles feature very strong light-matter interactions, which has led to their use in many photonic applications such as photodetectors, biosensors, components for telecommunications etc.Under illumination both structures exhibit collective electron-photon resonances, described in the frameworks of quasiparticles as exciton-polaritons for semiconductors and surface plasmon-polaritons for metals.To date these two approaches to controlling light interactions have usually been treated separately, with just a few simple attempts to consider exciton-plasmon interactions in a system consisting of both semiconductor and metal nanostructures.In this work, the exciton-polaritons and surface \\plasmon-polaritons are first considered separately, and then combined using the Finite Difference Time Domain numerical method coupled with a master equation for the exciton-polariton population dynamics.To better understand the properties of excitons and plasmons, each quasiparticle is used to investigate two open questions - the source of the Stokes shift between the absorption and luminescence peaks in quantum dots, and the source of the photocurrent increase in quantum dot infrared photodetectors coated by a thin metal film with holes. The combined numerical method is then used to study a system consisting of multiple metal nanoparticles close to a quantum dot, a system which has been predicted to exhibit quantum dot-induced transparency, but is demonstrated to just have a weak dip in the absorption.

Abstract:
Colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) contain hundreds to thousands of atoms in a roughly spherical shape with diameters in the range of 1-10 nm. The extremely small particle size confines electron transitions and creates size tunable bandgaps, giving rise to the name quantum dots (QDs). The unique optoelectronic properties of QDs enable a broad range of applications in optical and biological sensors, solar cells, and light emitting diodes. The most common compound semiconductor combination is chalcogenide II-VI materials, such as ZnSe, CdSe, and CdTe. But III-V and group IV as well as more complicated ternary materials have been demonstrated. Coordinating organic ligands are used to cap the NP surface during the synthesis, as a mean of protecting, confining, and separating individual particles. This study investigated the impact of the ligand on particle growth and self-assembly into hierarchical structures. ZnSe QDs were synthesized using an aqueous route with four different thiol ligands, including 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), thioglycolic acid (TGA), methyl thioglycolate (MTG), and thiolactic acid (TLA). The particle growth was monitored as a function of reaction time by converting the band gaps measured using UV-vis spectroscopy into particle sizes. A kinetic model based on a diffusion-reaction mechanism was developed to simulate the growth process. The growth data were fit to this model, yielding the binding strength in the order TLA < MTG ≈ TGA < MPA. This result showed the relationship between the QD growth rates and the chemical structures of the ligands. Ligands containing electron-withdrawing groups closer to the anchoring S atom and branching promoted growth, whereas longer, possibly bidendate, ligands retarded it. Removing TGA ligands from the surface of CdTe QDs in a controlled manner yielded new superstructures that were composed of either intact or fused particles. Purifying as-synthesized QDs by precipitating them using an anti-solvent removed most of the free ligand in solution. Aging this purified QD suspension for a week caused self-assembly of QDs into nanoribbons. The long time needed for self-assembly was due to the slow equilibrium between the ligands on QD surface and in solution. Accelerating the approach to equilibrium by diluting purifed CdTe QDs with organic solvents triggered rapid self-assembly of superstructures within a day, forming various nanostructures from nanoribbons to nanoflowers. The type of nanostructures that formed was determined by the solvation of TGA in the trigger solvent. Extracting the smallest portion of TGA in methanol promoted vectorial growth into ribbons consistent with dipole-dipole attractive and charge-charge repulsive interactions. Removing more of the TGA layer in IPA caused the dots to fuse into webs containing clustered ribbons and branches, and the directional nature of the superstructure was lost. Completely deprotecting the surface in acetone promoted photochemical etching and dissolved the QDs, yielding ower-like structures composed of CdS. Nanocrystal (NC) growth mediated by a ligand was also studied in the organic synthesis of FeS₂ nanocubes. Oleylamine was used not only as the ligand but also the solvent and reductant during the reaction. A one hour reaction between iron (II) chloride and elemental sulfur in oleylamine at 200 ℃ and a S to Fe ratio of 6 yielded phase pure pyrite cubes with dimensions of 87.9±14.1 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra and Raman peaks for pyrite at 340, 375, and 426 cm⁻¹ confirmed phase purity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed that the oleylamine remained on the FeS₂ surface as a ligand. The reaction mechanism includes the production of pyrrhotite Fe₁₋ᵪS (0≤x<0.5) via reduction of S⁰ to S²⁻ by oleylamine and the oxidation of pyrrhotite to pyrite with remaining S⁰.

Abstract:
This thesis explores how the carrier dynamics within semiconductor nanocrystals can be directly engineered through specific core-shell design. Emphasis is placed on how material characteristics, such as strain or alloying at a core-shell interface, can influence the exciton energies and the recombination dynamics within semiconductor nanocrystals. This study synthesises type-II heterojunction ZnTe/ZnSe core-shell nanocrystals via a diethyl zinc-free synthesis method, producing small size distributions and quantum yields as high as 12%. It was found that the 7% lattice mismatch between the core and shell materials places limitations on the range of structures in which coherent growth is achieved. By developing compositional and strained atomistic core-shell models a variety of physical and optical properties could be simulated and has led to a clear picture of the core-shell architecture to be built. This characterisation provides evidence that the low bulk modulus ZnTe cores are compressed by the higher bulk modulus smaller lattice constant ZnSe shells. Further studies show how strain is manifested in structures with 'sharp' core-shell interfaces and how intentional alloying the interface can influence the growth and exciton energies. A (2-6)-band effective mass model was able to distinguish between the as-grown 'sharp' and 'alloyed' interfaces which indicated that strain accentuates the redshift of the excitonic state whilst reduced strain within an alloyed interface sees a reduced redshift. Single nanocrystal spectroscopy investigations of brightly emitting single graded alloyed nanocrystals and of a size series of commercially available CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals showed almost no fluorescence intermittency (nearly 'non-blinking'). These investigations also identified trion recombination as the main mechanism within the blinking 'off' state. Ultimately this thesis adds to the growing understanding of how specific core-shell architectures manipulate the electronic structure and develops techniques to identify specific material characteristics and how these characteristics influence the physical and optical properties within semiconductor nanocrystals.

Abstract:
Some interesting electronic and dynamic properties of semiconductor nanocrystal heterostructures have been investigated using various spectroscopic methods. Semiconductor nanocrystal heterostructures were prepared using colloidal synthesis techniques. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy was used to monitor the relaxation of hot electrons in CdS/HgS/CdS quantum dot quantum wells. Careful analysis of the hot electron relaxation in CdS/HgS/CdS quantum dot quantum wells reveals an energy dependent relaxation mechanism involving electronic states of varying CdS and HgS composition. The composition of the electronic states, combined with the layered structure of the nanocrystal permits the assignment of CdS localized and HgS localized excited states. The dynamic effect of surface passivation is then shown to have the strongest influence on excited states that are localized in the HgS layer. New quantum dot quantum well heterostructures of different sizes and compositions were also prepared and studied. The dynamic properties of CdS/CdSe/CdS colloidal quantum wells suggest simultaneous relaxation of excited electrons within the CdS core and CdSe shell on the sub-picosecond time scale. Despite the very different electronic structure of CdS/CdSe/CdS compared to CdS/HgS/CdS, the time scales of the relaxation and electron localization were very similar. Enhancement of trap luminescence was observed when CdS quantum dots were coated with silver. The mechanism of the enhancement was investigated using time-resolved spectroscopic techniques.

Abstract:
Exciting periods of scientific research are often associated with discoveries of novel materials. Such period was brought about by the successful preparation of graphene which is a 2D allotrope of carbon with remarkable electronic, optical and mechanical properties. Functional graphene-based nanocomposites have great promise for applications in various fields such as energy conversion, opteoelectronics, solar cells, sensing, catalysis and biomedicine. Herein, microwave and laser-assisted synthetic approaches were developed for decorating graphene with various semiconductor, metallic or magnetic nanostructures of controlled size and shape. We developed a scalable microwave irradiation method for the synthesis of graphene decorated with CdSe nanocrystals of controlled size, shape and crystalline structure. The efficient quenching of photoluminescence from the CdSe nanocrystals by graphene has been explored. The results provide a new approach for exploring the size-tunable optical properties of CdSe nanocrystals supported on graphene which could have important implications for energy conversion applications. We also extended this approach to the synthesis of Au-ceria-graphene nanocomposites. The synthesis is facilely conducted at mild conditions using ethylenediamine as a solvent. Results reveal significant CO conversion percentages between 60-70% at ambient temperatures. Au nanostructures have received significant attention because of the feasibility to tune their optical properties by changing size or shape. The coupling of the photothermal effects of these Au nanostructures of controlled size and shape with GO nanosheets dispersed in water is demonstrated. Our results indicate that the enhanced photothermal energy conversion of the Au-GO suspensions could to lead to a remarkable increase in the heating efficiency of the laser-induced melting and size reduction of Au nanostructures. The Au-graphene nanocomposites are potential materials for photothermolysis, thermochemical and thermomechanical applications. We developed a facile method for decorating graphene with magnetite nanocrystals of various shapes (namely, spheres, cubes and prisms) by the microwave-assisted-reduction of iron acetylacetonate in benzyl ether. The shape control was achieved by tuning the mole ratio between the oleic acid and the oleyamine. The structural, morphological and physical properties of graphene-based nanocomposites described herein were studied using standard characterization tools such as TEM, SEM, UV-Vis and PL spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, XPS and Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present our recent development of direct nanoimprinting of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles for a simple but high-throughput fabrication of micro/nanoscale structures. Nanoparticle suspension with self-assembled-monolayer (SAM) protected-nanoparticles (Au, Ag, and CdSe-ZnS core-shell quantum dots) suspended in alpha-terpineol carrier solvent are used as solutions for direct nanoimprinting. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based soft imprinting molds with micro/nanoscale features are used. Process and material flexibility enable a very low temperature (80°C) and low pressure (5psi) nanoimprinting process and results in superfine features from micrometers down to ∼100nm resolutions. We will show the geometrical and electrical characterization of nanoimprinted structures and demonstrate working electronic components such as resistors or organic field effect transistors (OFET).

Quantum dots are tiny light-emitting particles on the length scale of 2–10 nm, and FRET-nanobeads for fluorophore-embedded nanoparticles on the length scale of 40–200 nm based on the phenomenon of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). These materials are emerging as a new class of biological labels with properties and applications that are not available with traditional organic dyes and fluorescent proteins. In this ASME contribution, we report new developments in using semiconductor quantum dots for quantitative imaging and spectroscopy of single cancer cells. We also show results from intracellular staining of actin filaments using FRET-nanobeads. These results raise new possibilities in disease diagnostics, drug and biochemical discovery, cancer imaging, molecular profiling, and disease staging.

Abstract:
Quantum dots (QDs) are zero-dimensional nanoparticles with renowned semiconductor, optical, and electrical properties, having distinct biocompatibility, and biodegradability that are utilized in nanoscience and nanotechnology, as biosensors, potential targeting agents for viruses and cancer cells amongst many other potential applications. QDs are synthesized by non-thermal plasma gas phase, hydrothermal synthesis, microwave-assisted synthesis, electrochemical synthesis, or by self-assembly to yield different sizes and structures. QDs can be produced chemically from gold, silver, copper, zinc, other metals, and also from plants to form distinct nanoparticles. The means of synthesis of QDs and nanoparticles, create an avenue to enhance their properties, structures, and applications. Moringa oleifera (MO) also known as “the miracle tree” found in India and Africa, is famously known to contain vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, A, C, K, E, D, 92 nutrients, 46 natural antioxidants, several anti-inflammatory compounds, and has the ability to treat more than 300 diseases. Magnetic iron oxide quantum dots (MIOQDs) have been synthesized using MO leaves through the green technique; microwave treatment, and previously, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been biosynthesized using moringa oleifera seeds (MOS), however, as far as our knowledge, overnight extraction and green synthesis of silver quantum dots (Ag-QDs) via microwave-assisted synthesis from MO seeds and leaves ethanol and distilled water extracts is novel for our study. In this study, MO seeds and MO leaves separately in Distilled Water (dH2O) and Ethanol (ETOH) solutions were extracted using hydrothermal distillation overnight on the thermomagnetic stirrer at 100 °C. Each solution was filtered using Whatman filter paper and centrifuged to obtain MO leaves and seeds extract. We used the microwave-assisted synthesis method to synthesize Ag-QDs from MO leaves and seed extract solutions. Additionally, Ag-Qds were synthesized chemically utilizing the hydrothermal method to evaluate our results. As a result, AgNO3 was reduced by the MO extracts. and served as a capping agent; forming novel Ag-QDs. Additionally, the hydrothermal chemical synthesis method was used to produce Ag-Qds, which were utilized to evaluate the MO-based Ag-QDs. Later, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), were utilized to characterize the Ag-QDs. Combining the antibacterial electro-optical magnetic properties of Ag-QDs to the miracle tree; moringa oleifera, we propose that biomedicine, biosensors, wound healing, drug delivery, and many other bio-applications can benefit from this study through further research and experimentation.

Abstract:
The characteristics of fuel atomizers have been studied by using a fluorescence optical patternator via establishing a laser sheet illumination of the spray and an image capturing system. Line laser Mie-scattering and fluorescence imaging technique is used to study the fuel mass distribution, geometrical properties, angle and symmetry in sprays. The proposed experimental setup employs Rhodamine 6G as the fluorophore. A set of filters have been used to reduce the signature from the combustion fire while being able to image the nanoparticles. Experimental results are obtained under the conditions of the fuel with and without being seeded with quantum dots and under both non-combusting and combusting spray conditions. The results from the study are validated against existing volume flux distribution measurements by conventional techniques. Owing to the high luminescence properties of quantum dots, the liquid volume distribution can accurately be determined in an evaporating as well as a non-evaporating spray using this technique. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanoparticles whose emission wavelength can be tuned by the choice of their size. Also their, high luminescence properties are advantageous in a spectrally "noisy" combustion environment.

Abstract:
Clusters and aggregates of atoms in the nanometer size range have been the object of intensive work particularly in the case of semiconductors quantum dots [1]. Less extensive investigations have been performed on metallic nanoparticles [2-3]. For particle size greater than 10 Å the behavior of the nanoparticles tends to approach that of the bulk metal, but with some significant differences concerning thermodynamic properties (like decrease of melting temperature with size) and non-linear effects in the optical spectra [4]. A careful investigation of the role of particle dimensions on the electron relaxation dynamics appears to be essential to improve our knowledge of the basic properties of metal nanoparticles as compared to bulk.
