▼ The essential components in the synthesis of high-quality II-VI and IV-VI QDs have remained largely unchanged for 20 years; typically employing tertiary phosphine chalcogenides and metal salts as the reactive precursors. The reaction mechanism responsible for monomer nucleation was investigated. Pure tertiary phosphine selenide sources (e.g. trioctylphosphine selenide (TOPSe)) were surprisingly found to be unreactive with metal carboxylates and incapable of yielding QDs. Rather, small quantities of secondary phosphines are entirely responsible for the nucleation of QDs at low temperatures (< 200 °C); their low concentrations account for poor synthetic conversion yields. Also, we have reported the synthesis and characterization of novel, ultra-small PbSe magic-sized nanoclusters (MSCs). Unlike the syntheses of high-quality semiconductor nanoparticles, the MSC synthesis is straightforward, occurring at room temperature in air over several hours. MSCs have core diameters < 2 nm and fluoresce in the near-infrared (900 nm) with remarkable quantum efficiencies consistently greater than 50%. The relatively slow growth of MSCs allows for a significant scale up of reaction volumes. Transfer to aqueous solvents has also been demonstrated, establishing MSCs as a potential new fluorophore for applications in biological imaging. Ostwald ripening represents a major contributor to semiconductor quantum dot growth under a wide range of experimental conditions. Quantum dot concentrations and diameters are shown to change dramatically at temperatures widely encountered in growth and processing procedures. Further, data is provided that supports the role of ligand in ripening and an attempt is made to understand its chemical pathway. Finally, kinetic data shows that PbSe QDs ripen significantly faster than CdSe QDs. Density functional calculations agree with the experimental results and provide insight into their origin. A secondary phosphine chalcogenide (DPPSe) was investigated as a potential anion source for the production of both PbSe and CdSe QDs. Unfortunately, reactions were found only capable of producing MSCs, albeit with quantitative conversion yields. Observation of reaction kinetics emphasized the importance of controlling nucleation rates for size-control. Methodologies are presented that effectively separate nucleation from growth; which allow for the predictable and reproducible synthesis of specific-sized QDs.

▼ The IV-VI semiconductors, and specifically the lead-salts (PbS, PbSe, and PbTe), are a natural choice for nanocrystal science. In nanocrystals, because of their narrow band gap, small effective masses, and large dielectric constants, they offer a unique combination of both strong confinement and strong dielectric contrast with their environment. Studying how these two effects modify optical and electrical properties of nanocrystals will be the topic of this dissertation. We begin with a summary of the synthesis of high-quality PbS and PbSe nanocrystals. Special care is taken to explain the chemical procedures in detail to an audience not expected to have significant prior chemistry knowledge. The synthesized nanocrystals have bright and tunable emission that spans the edge of the visible to the near-IR spectrum (700-1800 nm), and they are capped with organic ligands making them easily adaptable to different substrates or hosts . This combination of high optical quality and flexible device engineering make them extremely desirable for application. Moving beyond single-material nanocrystals, we next explore nanocrystal heterostructures, specifically materials with a spherical core of one semiconductor and a shell of another. Core-shell structures are commonly used in nanocrystals as a method to separate the core material, where the electrons and holes are expected to stay, from interfering effects at the surface. This typically results in improvements in stability and fluorescence quantum efficiency. To that end, we develop a model to explain how confinement plays out across abrupt changes in material, focusing on the optical and electrical properties of recently synthesized PbSe/PbS core-shell quantum dots. We show that for typical sizes of these nanocrystals, a novel type of nanocrystal heterostructure is created, where electrons and holes extend uniformly across the abrupt material boundary, and the shell does not act as a protecting layer. For very large sizes not yet achievable, we expect that the electron and hole will separate in different layers, with potentially measurable effects. Comparisons are made to optical and electrical measurements on these structures, showing good agreement. Next, we explore how shape can impact nanocrystal properties, on top of their intrinsic size or material dependence. By looking at cylindrically shaped nanocrystals, called "nanorods," with aspect ratios 10, we explore how having a slightly extended dimension can impact nanocrystal properties. A model is developed to explain their electronic structure, with surprising results. Foremost is that along the extended dimension, electrons and holes are strongly electrically bound, not with each other directly, but with their image charges in the outer host dielectric material. Nevertheless, the energy spectra of the excitons remains nearly hostindependent, with the effects of this strong binding instead seen in a redistribution of transition oscillator strength. To test the model, we develop a novel synthesis of high quality PbSe… Advisors/Committee Members: Wise, Frank William (chair), Gaeta, Alexander L.

▼ The commercially available solar cells suffer from low efficiency and high cost. This would avoid presence of solar cells as a secure energy resource in the market. Problems stem from two facts. Firstly, band gap of materials deployed for cell fabrication do not match the solar spectrum. Secondly, harvesting all the generated electrons is imperfect due to presence of many non-radiative recombination processes and, thermalization of electrons. To transcend these deficiencies, third generation of solar has been introduced. This new generation renders a whole new concept both in design and materials of solar cells scope. One of new introduction to solar cell field is Quantum Dot (QD). QD offers a broad range of tunability. The optical and electrical properties of QDs can be altered by choice of material, size and shape; therefore; they have great potential for high efficiency cell fabrication. QDs are mainly grown via MBE or synthesized via Colloidal solutions. QDs could be integrated as a part of one of new and promising third generation cells, named Intermediate Band Solar Cells. QDs could be employed as the intermediate level. If MBE is the selected method for cell fabrication, QDs would grow in a matrix of barrier material accompanied with a wetting layer. Wetting layer would disturb the ideal condition predicted in theory for gaining the high efficiency. To study how wetting layer would affect IB performance two sets of simulations have been carried out. One part is done with COSMOL. In this part different number of QDs layers have been simulated with and without wetting layer. The result showed that parasitic effect of wetting layer could not be eliminated large stacks of QD are stacked together, to achieve the promised efficient wetting layer should be eliminated from the system. In MATLAB part QDs have been approximated with simple cuboid. The main aim in this part was to compare how the result of taking into the account the real shape differs from a simple approach which has been the most reported the most in literature. If all the restrains on achieving high efficiency of IBSC are met, still one major draw- back remains and, that is high cost of MBE process. This would hinder mass production of IB cell. One possible potential method to gradually replace MBE can be Colloidal QDs. Colloidal QDs are fairly low cost and easy to fabricate. In this work, colloidal crystal growth was examined. The best condition for monolayer deposition was obtained and, the feasibility of crystal growth was demonstrated. additionally, There was an attempt to grow more than one layer and investigate result of embedding QDs in a barrier of another material.

▼ Fluorescence microscopy is an essential tool to study biological molecules in living cells or tissues. Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy is commonly used to monitor the relative distance between two fluorescently labeled proteins or other biomolecules and can be leveraged to report on binding dynamics or conformational changes. FRET microscopy needs bright probes with good resistance to photobleaching and narrow emission spectra. Imaging probes may be based on fluorescence proteins (FPs), organic fluorophores, nanoparticles (Quantum Dots or QDs) or lanthanide complexes. There is a huge interest in applications of QDs in live cell microscopy due to their exceptional brightness and photo-stability. Using QDs as FRET donors, offers several practical advantages over conventional fluorophores (FPs or dyes). For example, broad absorption spectra allow for the excitation of QD far from the acceptor’s absorption region, which minimizes the direct excitation of the acceptor. QDs can also be FRET acceptors when paired with lanthanides as donors for use in time-gated microscopy. Time-Gated FRET microscopy is based on the difference in excited state lifetimes between lanthanides (0.1 – 2 ms) and QDs (<100 ns) with the correct spectral overlap. Time-gated FRET microscopy provides a better signal-to-noise ratio by using pulsed excitation and delayed detection to isolate ms-scale lanthanide and lanthanide-sensitized FRET signals from ns-scale cell autofluorescence and directly excited acceptor fluorescence. Successful use of QDs as microscopic imaging sensors poses several challenges including appropriate surface functionalization, delivery into living cells, and targeting to select biomolecules. This dissertation reports the results of efforts to engineer QDs for a variety of live-cell imaging and sensing applications, including ratiometric metabolite sensing, lanthanide-based FRET, and selective labeling of a protein inside a cell. Chapter one is comprised of relevant background information on QDs, lanthanides, FRET, and other materials and techniques explored herein. In chapter two, the design and characterization of QD-based ratiometric sensors is described. These sensors were developed to monitor oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and endosomal escape in live cells. Chapter three explores terbium-to-quantum dot FRET microscopy. We developed several time-gated Tb-to-QD FRET systems that can be used for intracellular imaging with very efficient suppression of non-specific fluorescence background. With the removal of the acceptor fluorescence due to direct excitation, there is no need for control images such as donor only or acceptor only (as required for conventional FRET imaging experiments). For the demonstration of intracellular Tb-to-QD FRET and Tb-to-QD-to-dye FRET relays, we used Tb-QD-dye nanoassemblies (Tb-pep and dye-peptides self-assembled via His6 to the QD surfaces) that were microinjected into live HeLa cells. In chapter 4, we show that His6 self-assembly, combined with amide coupling, increases the… Advisors/Committee Members: Miller, Lawrence W. (advisor), Snee, Preston T.

▼ Nano-sized semiconductors, known as quantum dots (QDs), are one of the hottest research areas in recent years. The energy gaps of QDs change with their diameters, giving them size-dependent optical properties. By controlling reaction conditions, people are able to make QDs that can emit in certain wavelength ranges. So far, QDs have shown great potential in telecommunication, bio-imaging, single-photon laser source, etc. This thesis starts with Chapter 1, which first introduces the finding of QDs and why they have such special properties. The quantum confinement and energy gap are discussed, followed by the absorption and emission of QDs. Moreover, the synthesis methods and mechanism involved are reviewed in brief. Chapter 2 presents the synthesis of lead-based core, core-shell and core-shell-shell QDs and previous work by other people. A few techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-absorption, photoluminescence (PL) measurement, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used and shown in this chapter. Core-shell and core-shell-shell QDs are shown to present excellent stability over 20 months. The ZnS shell was proved by energy-dependent XPS and TEM measurements. A detailed discussion on quantum yield (QY) is given in Chapter 3. Absolute and relative QY measurements and some standard dyes are discussed. After that, Chapter 4 shows systematic QY measurements on lead-based core and core-shell QDs. For each type of QDs, at least two batches are selected with their emission spectra presented as well. It is revealed by collected data that they have excitation-dependent QYs. The QY drops as the excitation light increases in energy (higher wavelength), which is due to non-radiative decays from higher excited states or the Auger effects. QY of PbS and PbSe QDs can be as high as 50%. Eventually, the conclusion and future work are included in Chapter 5. All experimental work is described in detail in the experimental section.

▼ Esta investigación se centró en el desarrollo de un sistema híbrido organico-inorganico, con múltiples señales emisivas a distintas longitudes de onda, y su evaluación como herramienta analítica selectiva y de cuantificación de nitrocompuestos aromáticos. El sistema híbrido consistió por una parte, en nanopartículas semiconductoras específicamente se utilizó nanocristales de tipo CdSe (core) y CdSe/ZnS (core shell). Estos nanohíbridos se eligieron por su potencial aplicación como sensores. El componente orgánico consistió en ligandos funcionales que presentan un fluoróforo específicamente de pireno (Py). Este fluoróforo fue elegido, por su buena fotoestabilidad y la sensibilidad de sus propiedades luminiscentes al entorno. El pireno tiene una emisión bien resuelta en la zona de 340-420 nm que corresponde al monómero. A concentraciones del orden mili-molar se observa la formación del excímero, cuyo máximo de emisión se encuentra a 470 nm. Con el propósito de garantizar una buena estabilidad y pasivación de las nanopartículas se utilizó un ligando con un grupo anclante de tipo tiol espeficicamente [11-mercaptoundecanoato de 4-(pirenil-1-il) butilo], el grupo tiol es muy afín a la superficie de los QD. El otro extremo de la cadena alquílica del ligando presenta la unidad de pireno. En el capítulo 3.1 de esta tesis, se presenta la funcionalización de la superficie de las nanopartículas del tipo core (CdSe) con pireno como ligando ([email protected]). Se demuestra que la elevada área superficial relativa (superficie/volumen) de la nanopartícula permite alojar eficazmente una gran cantidad de estos ligandos, y por lo tanto una alta concentración local del pireno. Los análisis por espectroscopia de absorción y resonancia magnética nuclear evidenciaron que el pireno se encontraba unido a la superficie de la nanopartícula, presentando las bandas de absorción correspondientes del pireno sobre 300-380 nm. Las imágenes de microscopia electrónica de transmisión de alta resolución corroboraron los tamaños y la homogeneidad de la muestra (nanopartículas de 2,4±0,4 nm). La funcionalización de este tipo de nanopartículas, con el tiol, produjo una fuerte desactivación de la emisión de la fluorescencia de la nanopartícula. Las medidas de la fluorescencia en estado estacionario y resueltas en el tiempo, demostraron formación de las dos especies emisivas del pireno (monómero y el excímero), que confirma una alta concentración local de pireno en la periferia de la nanopartícula. El tiempo de vida de fluorescencia para el monómero mostró una cinética de decaimiento radiativo biexponencial con tiempos de vida de 10 ns (62%) y 108 ns (38%), mientras que para la señal del excímero mostró una sola componente de 57 ns (100%).

▼ In this dissertation, a theory of modulation response of a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) laser is developed. The effect of the following factors on the modulation bandwidth of a QD laser is studied and the following results are obtained: 1) Carrier capture delay from the optical confinement layer into QDs Closed-form analytical expressions are obtained for the modulation bandwidth omega_{-3 dB} of a QD laser in the limiting cases of fast and slow capture into QDs. omega_{-3 dB} is highest in the case of instantaneous capture into QDs, when the cross-section of carrier capture into a QD sigma_n = infinity. With reducing sigma_n, omega_{-3 dB} decreases and becomes zero at a certain non-vanishing sigma_n^min. This sigma_n^min presents the minimum tolerable capture cross-section for the lasing to occur at a given dc component j₀ of the injection current density. The higher is j₀, the smaller is sigma_n^min and hence the direct modulation of the output power is possible at a slower capture. The use of multiple layers with QDs is shown to considerably improve the modulation response of the laser – the same omega_{-3 dB} is obtained in a multi-layer structure at a much lower j₀ than in a single-layer structure. 2) Internal optical loss in the optical confinement layer The internal optical loss, which increases with free-carrier density in the waveguide region, considerably reduces the modulation bandwidth omega_{-3 dB} of a QD laser. With internal loss cross-section sigma_int increasing and approaching its maximum tolerable value, the modulation bandwidth decreases and becomes zero. There exists the optimum cavity length, at which omega_{-3 dB} is highest; the larger is sigma_int, the longer is the optimum cavity. 3) Excited states in QDs Direct and indirect (excited-state-mediated) mechanisms of capture of carriers from the waveguide region into the lasing ground state in QDs are considered, and the modulation response of a laser is calculated. It is shown that, when only indirect capture is involved, the excited-to-ground-state relaxation delay strongly limits the ground-state modulation bandwidth of the laser – at the longest tolerable relaxation time, the bandwidth becomes zero. When direct capture is also involved, the effect of excited-to-ground-state relaxation is less significant and the modulation bandwidth is considerably higher.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are promising candidates for the next generation of solar cells due to their tunable band gaps, solution processability and the potential for multiple exciton generation. However their stability and the reduction of surface defects are big challenges and effective surface passivation is needed. Passivations via organic ligands have been shown to be imperfect and hinder the charge transfer in devices. Three different QD systems, chosen as exemplars of different approaches to surface passivation, have been investigated with synchrotron-radiation (SR) depth- profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). With this technique the chemical composition of the top few nanometres of a sample can be studied with depth.The study of CdTe QDs with and without a chloride treatment revealed the presence of stoichiometric particles prior to, and the likely coexistence of Cl atoms and organic ligands on the surfaces of the QDs after the treatment. The chloride treatment led to a better surface passivation of the QDs resulting in photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 97.2%. Shell thickness estimations using a core/shell/shell model were performed of the chloride treated sample and XPS highlighted the complexity of the structure of the sample. CdTe QDs passivated by a thick CdSe shell were investigated. Indications for an improvement of the stability of the QDs against oxidation were found. The Se:Te ratio was equivalent to a CdSe shell of 0.3-0.4 nm which was significantly smaller than intended, indicating that the butylamine ligand exchange and/or the washing of the sample reduced the thickness of the CdSe shell drastically. The third system studied was PbS QDs that were passivated with a thin CdS shell. XPS of the thoroughly washed QDs confirmed the presence of Cd in an amount equivalent to a 0.13-0.18 nm thick shell. This is thicker than the 0.05 nm shell expected from absorption spectroscopy. A study of ageing of the PbS/CdS QDs revealed that oxidation took place on the surface of the QDs. It was found that sulfur oxidised in stages leading to highly oxidised SO4²− components. Upon long-term ageing Pb oxidised more rapidly than S, and either some Pb and/or Cd migration or some decomposition of the QDs occurred. The PbS/CdS nanoparticles were more stable than a comparable PbS colloidal quantum dot sample from the literature. The study of the PbS/CdS QDs prior to and after the second wash- ing cycle after a mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) ligand exchange revealed, amongst other things, the removal of MPA and a reduction of the Cd:Pb ratio indicating that (parts of) the QDs decomposed through the ligand exchange or the washing.In addition to the results of the nanoparticles studied some limitations of the study of colloidal QDs with SR depth-profiling XPS are discussed.

▼ Quantum dots have emerged as a promising low-cost solution processable solar harvesting material, with efficiencies having increased to 12% within a relatively short 10-year time span since its inception. This technology is also driven by the flexibility to fine tune the bandgap and electronic properties via surface ligand engineering.Of the different quantum dot materials, PbS quantum dots have been demonstrated to be the most promising. PbS quantum dot solar cells were responsible for the certified efficiency of 12% in 2018, and have demonstrated good air stability, indicating the opportunity for large scale commercial implementation in the future. This high efficiency was achieved by utilizing a n+-n-p structure where the n-doped and p-doped layers were based on PbS quantum dots passivated with different ligands.The p-type layer has generally suffered from low mobility. This is due to the organic ligand 1,2-ethanedithiol that is used to modify the quantum dot surface such that p-doping is achieved. This naturally limits the device thickness as the carrier diffusion length is limited by the low mobility. The work done in this thesis aims to improve the properties of the p-type layer through hybrid ligand treatments.By treating the p-type layer with two types of ligands, 3-mercaptopropionic acid and 1,2-ethanedithiol, the PbS quantum surface was passivated by a combination of the two ligands. The combination of the two ligands resulted in an overall improvement in open circuit voltage, fill factor and current density, leading to an improvement in cell efficiency from 6-8% to 9-10%, with a champion cell efficiency of 10.4%. This achievement was a result of a reduction in interdot distance, leading to an improvement in film conductivity.The hybrid ligand treatment conditions also drastically affect the results. 1,2-ethanedithiol treatment concentration particularly affected the penetration of the ligand into the active layer, which resulted in an undesirable drop in current density. The thesis concluded that the treatment with low mobility organic ligands should be done minimally to only passivate the hole transport layer without further deeper penetration into the n-type layers.

▼ Block copolymer template-assembly of quantum dots and plasmonic nanostructures is developed to provide a well-controlled platform to study the electronic coupling and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between quantum dots (QDs), as well as the influence of surface plasmons on energy transfer. By fine-tuning the aspect ratio of the geometric features of PS-b-PMMA copolymer template, QDs are assembled into an array of QD clusters within nanoscopic holes on the template using capillary force assembly. Coupled QD clusters, termed quantum dot molecules (QDMs), are assembled in an array to probe the local coupling within QD molecules when the native insulating ligands are exchanged with shorter ligands. From absorption measurement of 1st exciton peak position of PbSe QDMs upon ligand exchange, a larger red-shift is found for QDMs than for a close packed film of PbSe QDs with the same ligand exchange, demonstrating localized electronic coupling of these QD molecules. Template-assembly of nanoparticles is further generalized to uniformly couple QDs clusters with plasmonic nanodisks of noble metals. Using PS nanospheres as reactive ion etch mask, Au nanodisks are fabricated on CdSe/ZnS core shell QD clusters, separated by a tunable space layer of PMMA. This highly controllable surface plasmon-coupled QD system minimizes the uncertainty in interfacial homogeneity, characterized by cross sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Photoluminescence (PL) peak ratio of donor to acceptor emission and donor lifetime measurements show strong evidence of surface plasmon coupled energy transfer between donor-acceptor QDs, which depends on the position of the surface plasmon peaks as well as the separation between plasmonic structure and FRET QD clusters. The result suggests that a larger overlap of surface plasmon peak with the emission peak of acceptor leads to greater decrease in PL lifetime of donor. Donor lifetime decreases dramatically in the presence of both acceptor and surface plasmon compared to just in the presence of surface plasmon. Coupling between plasmonic nanodisks and QD clusters also decreases and results in longer donor lifetime as the thickness of PMMA separation layer increases.

▼ During the past century, impacts of climate change on both natural and human systems have been observed worldwide. Numerous scientific investigations suggest a strong correlation between the global warming and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. CO2 emission accounts for 78% of the GHG emissions, and 35% of this CO2 comes from electricity generation. Reduction of GHG emission from the electricity generation would therefore be beneficial to decrease global warming. As a renewable energy source, in comparison with conventional fossil fuels, solar energy has limitless supply, is accessible in most geographic locations, and is much cleaner. Currently, solar energy is economically viable in areas where the infrastructure is limited, or the GHG emissions are restricted by policy. To further facilitate the ubiquitous deployment of solar energy on a tera-watt utility scale, further increases in power conversion efficiency and reductions in cost are still required of solar cell technology. Third generation solar cells are emerging solar cell technologies, which are predicted to operate beyond the Shockley-Queisser limit for single bandgap cells. Nanostructured materials are under investigation as potential candidates for next generation photovoltaic technologies. In this dissertation, one type of nanostructured material, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), were studied for their potential applications for next-generation photovoltaics. Epitaxial self-assembled InAs/GaAsSb QD solar cells are investigated for applications as intermediate band solar cells. These systems have a theoretical efficiency of ∼ 50% with a simple single junction design. Two sets of optical InAs/GaAsSb QD samples grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), one set with various InAs deposition thicknesses, and the other set with different percentages of Sb composition in the barrier, were studied to determine the optimal growth conditions in terms of QD density and uniformity. A deposition thickness of 3 monolayers (ML) and 14% Sb matrix composition were shown to yield uniform QDs with the highest QD density ~ 3.5 X 10¹¹ /cm² and a quasi-flat valance band alignment. Four p-i-n GaAs solar cells with different intrinsic region designs were then grown by MBE. An unusually large reduction of the Voc and a complex behavior of Jsc were both observed. A detailed experimental investigation of these devices supports the hypothesis that thermal activation of defects or ionization of impurities in the lattice induces a transition from that dominated by radiative recombination to non-radiative processes. This results in a quenching of the photoluminescence and electroluminescence intensity and a decrease the z-factor from 2 to 1, with increasing temperature. The 1.1% lattice mismatch between the GaAs substrate and GaAsSb matrix contributes to the defect formation, which serves as the main limitation of the performance of InAs/GaAsSb quantum dot solar cells presented in this work. PbS/ZnO colloidal QD solar cells are investigated for thin film… Advisors/Committee Members: Sellers, Ian (advisor), Mullen, Kieran (committee member), Santos, Michael (committee member), Abraham, Eric (committee member), Shi, Zhisheng (committee member).

▼ The demand for renewable energy is growing because fossils fuels are depleting at a rapid pace. Solar energy an abundant green energy resource. Utilizing this resource in a smart manner can resolve energy-crisis related issues. Sun light can be efficiently harvested using semiconductor based materials by utilizing photo-generated charges for numerous beneficial applications. The main goal of this thesis is to synthesize different nanostructures of TiO2, develop a novel method of coupling and synthesizing chalcogenide nanocrystals with TiO2 and to study the charge transportation effects of the various carbon allotropes in the chalcogenide nanocrystal sensitized TiO2 nanostructure.We have fabricated different nanostructures of TiO2 as solar energy harvesting materials. Effects of the different phases of TiO2 have also been studied. The anatase phase of TiO2 is more photoactive than the rutile phase of TiO2, and the higher dimension of the TiO2 can increase the surface area of the material which can produce higher photocurrent.Since TiO2 only absorbs in the UV range; to increase the absorbance TiO2 should be coupled to visible light absorbing materials. This dissertation presents a simple approach to synthesize and couple chalcogenide nanocrystals with TiO2 nanostructure to form a heterostructured composite. An atmospheric pressure based, single precursor, one-pot approach has been developed and tested to assemble chalcogenide nanocrystal on the TiO2 surface. Surface characterization using microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis indicates the formation of nanocrystals along the nanotube walls and inter-tubular spacing. Optical measurements indicate that the chalcogenide nanocrystals absorb in the visible region and demonstrate an increase in photocurrent in comparison to bare TiO2 nanostructure. The CdS synthesized TiO2 nanostructure produced the highest photocurrent as measured in the three electrodesystem. We have also assembled the PbS nanocrystal sensitized photoanode using the one pot method.Finally, the charge transportation effect of carbon allotropes has been studied. For this we assembled TiO2 conductive carbon chalcogenide nanocomposite system. Surface and elemental characterization using electron microscopy, EDX (energy dispersive x-ray) and x-ray diffraction pattern, provide the insights into the assembly of the nanostructure. Optical absorbance, Photo chronometry, Linear sweep voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance analysis have been used to provide opto-electronic performance of the material. We have studied the loading effect of various carbon allotropes, [fullerene (C60), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene quantum dots (GQDs)], loading effect of chalcogenide, and effect of nitrogen doping on the carbon allotropes to optimize the performance of the heterostructure.This dissertation is expected to impact the materials synthesis strategies and assemble the nanostructures used in composite electrode driven applications in the area of photo electrochemistry,… Advisors/Committee Members: Subramanian, Vaidyanathan Ravi (advisor), Fuchs, Alan (committee member), Hiibel, Sage R.

O Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus é um dos mais importantes artrópodes em medicina veterinária devido perdas econômicas e problemas de saúde causados na produção de gado na América Central e do Sul, bem como na Austrália. Como alternativa ao controle químico, a imunização de bovinos com antígeno proteíco Bm86 induz uma resposta imune protetora. Um peptídeo sintético, SBm 7462, derivado da Bm86, tem obtido excelentes resultados no controle de carrapatos. A construção e síntese de uma sequência nucleotidíca baseada neste peptídeo podem ser útil para o desenho de uma vacina de DNA que tem muitas vantagens sob uma vacina sintética. Um gene, denominado seq1, foi construído repetindo três vezes a sequência nucleotidídica do SBm 7462. Ele foi clonado no vetor de expressão em mamíferos, pCIneo, transfectado em células VERO e injetado em camundongos BALB/c. Dois métodos foram usados para análise da expressão do peptídeo in vitro: DOTELISA e PAP. Em ambos, os resultados demonstraram que a seqüência nucleotídica (seq1) não havia sido expressa em células VERO. In vivo, quando camundongos foram inoculados com o cassete de expressão eles não responderam ao ELISA. Eles elevaram os títulos de anticorpos, apenas, quando inoculados com o peptídeo sintético SBm 7462. Os melhores títulos de imunoglobulinas foram vistos quando o SBm 7462 foi administrado subcutâneamente. Após isso, inserimos uma mutação no início do seq 1, porém, o sequenciamento demonstrou que nenhum códon de iniciação (ATG) tinha sido inserido.

The Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is one of the most important arthropods in veterinary medicine due economic losses and health problems caused in cattle production, mainly in Central and South America, as well as in Australia. As an alternative to chemical control, immunization of bovines with Bm86 antigen to induce a protective immune response. A synthetic peptide, SBm 7462, derived from Bm86, has been shown great results in control of ticks. The construction and synthesis of one nucleotide sequence based on this peptide might be useful for design a DNA vaccine that has many advances than peptide vaccine. A gene, called seq1, was constructed with a three repetition of nucleotide sequence of SBm 7462. It was cloned into a pCIneo vector expression in mammals, transfected in VERO cells and injected in BALB/c mouse. Two methods were used to analysis of peptide expression in vitro: DOTELISA and PAP. In both, the results showed that the nucleotide sequence (seq1) had not been express in VERO cells. In vivo, when mice were inoculated with the expression cassette they did not response in ELISA. They elevated antibody titles only when vaccinated with the syntetic peptide SBm 7462. And, the best titles of immunoglobulins were seen when the SBm 7462 was administered subcutaneously. After that, we insert a mutation at the begging of seq1, but, the sequenciament demonstrated that any initiation codon (ATG) had been inserted.

Les systèmes théranostiques, consistant en un dispositif unique contenant des agents de diagnostic et des principes actifs, suscitent un interêt accru car ils peuvent améliorer le traitement de maladies telles que le cancer en réduisant les effets secondaires des médicaments et en permettant un suivi du traitement. L’objectif de ce travail était d’insérer des Quantum Dots (QDs) à base de ZnO dans des nanoparticules lipidiques pouvant délivrer un principe actif anti-cancéreux. Nous avons d’abord cherché à synthétiser des QDs présentant une structure coeur-coquille ZnO/ZnS pour améliorer leurs propriétés de luminescence. La spectroscopie d’absorption des rayons X, associée à des techniques usuelles de caractérisation, a permis de déterminer les conditions de synthèse conduisant à la formation d’une structure coeur-coquille. Néanmoins, l’émission dans le visible de ces QDs n’était pas satisfaisante. Des QDs dopés par des ions Mg ont donc été synthétisés. L’intensité de leur luminescence passe par un maximum pour une concentration molaire nominale d’ions Mg dans le milieu de réaction égale à 20%. Les QDs Zn0.8Mg0.2O présentent un rendement quantique (QY) six fois plus grand (QY ~64%) que celui des QDs de ZnO non dopés (QY ~ 10%). Les QDs dont la surface a été modifiée par de l’acide oléique (OA) forment une suspension colloidale stable dans le chloroforme et le toluène. Le rendement quantique des QDs OA-Zn0.8Mg0.2O était environ quatre fois plus élevé (Qy ~40%) que celui des QDs OA-ZnO. Les QDs Zn0.8Mg0.2O et OA-Zn0.8Mg0.2O ont été incorporés dans des nanoparticules lipidiques ayant un diamètre hydrodynamique moyen de l’ordre de 100- 220 nm. Les nanoparticules lipidiques solides (SLN) contenant des QDs sont restées stables dans différents milieux biologiques pendant trois heures à 37°C. Des mesures de fluorescence sur des suspensions de macrophages J774 ont montré une faible augmentation de l’intensité de l’émission visible pour les cellules incubées avec 2 mg/mL de SLNs luminescentes pendant 50 min, suggérant une internalisation partielle des nanoparticules par les macrophages. Malheureusement, ces résultats n’ont pas pu être confirmés par vidéo-microscopie et microscopie de fluorescence sur les cellules parce que les conditions expérimentales ( longueurs d’onde d’excitation et d’émission possibles) ne permettaient pas d’observer un signal supérieur à celui de l'auto-fluorescence des cellules.

Theranostic systems consist of a single device containing therapeutic and diagnosis agents and receive increased attention because these devices can improve the therapy of diseases such as cancer, decreasing the toxic side effects and permitting to monitor the treatment. The aim of this work was to develop theranostic systems consisting of lipid based nanocarriers containing ZnO based quantum dots (QDs) as luminescent probes, and allowing to encapsulate a model drug for cancer therapy. Firstly, the synthesis of ZnO/ZnS QDs was studied, aiming to achieve improved luminescent properties. In this step, X-Rays Absorption…

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le domaine de l'opto-mécanique et propose l'utilisation de différentes techniques de mesure et de manipulation des propriétés mécaniques de nano-structures.La première partie de ce travail est dédiée aux fils photoniques. Ces objets sont des structures en GaAs en forme de cône inversé, avec une longueur d’une dizaine de µm et un diamètre inférieur au µm, contenant une couche de boîtes quantiques à l'intérieur. Nous avons démontré une méthode de réglage statique du spectre de photoluminescence de ces boîtes quantiques sensibles à la contrainte, en utilisant des nano-manipulateurs pour contraindre mécaniquement les fils. De plus, grâce à la dépendance spatiale du décalage spectral, il est possible d’établir une carte de la position des boîtes quantiques.La deuxième partie de ce travail concerne la mise en mouvement de ces fils photoniques à l’aide d’un faisceau laser modulé à la fréquence de résonance mécanique. Les mécanismes physiques à l’origine de ces effets sont présentés et discutés.Dans la troisième partie, nous présentons une méthode permettant l’observation d'oscillations mécaniques de nano-fils fins (moins de 50 nm de diamètre) en utilisant un microscope électronique à balayage. Cette méthode originale offre la possibilité de contrôler de nombreux types de structures micro et nano-électromécaniques, dont la détection du mouvement n’est pas possible optiquement en raison de la limite de diffraction de la lumière. De plus, cette méthode permet également d'agir sur les propriétés mécaniques des structures via une force de contre-réaction qui devient non négligeable pour ces structures très légères. Cela ouvre la possibilité d'études fondamentales complémentaires liées au refroidissement du mouvement mécanique.

This thesis is related to the field of opto-mechanics and the use of different techniques for the measurement and manipulation of mechanical properties of nano-structures.First part of the work is dedicated to the photonic wires. These objects are GaAs structures with an inverted conical shape of length of the order of 10 µm and diameter of less than 1 µm, containing a layer of InAs quantum dots inside. Wide-range static stress-tuning of quantum dots photoluminescence spectrum was demonstrated using nano-manipulators to bend the wires. Additionally, owing to the spatial dependence of the spectral shift, this technique offers the possibility of QD positions mapping.The second part of this work concerns the optical actuation of these photonic wires. A laser beam focused on the wire and modulated at the mechanical resonance frequency can set the wire in motion. The physical mechanisms responsible for these effects are presented and discussed.In the third part is presented a method enabling the detection of mechanical oscillations of small (less than 50 nm in diameter) nanowires with the use of a Scanning Electron Microscope. This original method offers a possibility to detect the motion of many types of micro- and nano-electromechanical devices which are too small to be detected…

▼ Nanomaterials are a class of materials with unique properties due to their size, and the association of these properties with the toxicity of nanomaterials is poorly understood. The present study assessed the toxic effects of stable aqueous colloidal suspensions of three distinctly different classes of nanomaterials in aquatic organisms. The fullerene, C70, was stabilized through non-covalent surface modification with gallic acid. Toxicity of C70-gallic acid was confirmed to exhibit similar toxic effects as C60-fullerene, including changes in antioxidative processes in Daphnia magna. Daphnia magna fecundity was significantly reduced in 21d bioassays at C70-gallic concentrations below quantifiable limits (0.03 mg/L C70). Antioxidant enzyme activities of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase as well as lipid peroxidation suggested that exposed organisms experienced oxidative stress. Carbon dots are a class of nanomaterials proposed for use as nontoxic alternatives to semiconductor quantum dots for photoluminescent applications, because of the difference in toxicity of their core components: carbon as opposed to heavy metals. In vivo analysis of treated organisms by confocal fluorescence microscopy revealed carbon dots were absorbed and systemically distributed regardless of particle size. The present study did not find any evidence of acute toxicity at concentrations up to 10mg/L carbon dots. These concentrations also failed to produce negative effects in Ceriodaphnia dubia bioassays to predict chronic toxicity. Carbon dots also failed to elicit developmental toxic effects in zebrafish. The toxic effects of semiconductor quantum dots have been partially attributed to the release of heavy metals with their degradation, particularly cadmium. Laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry was used to compare the uptake of cadmium, selenium and zinc in Daphnia magna treated to CdSe/ZnS quantum dots or CdCl2. These quantum dots were observed to accumulate primarily in the gut lumen and no evidence of uptake of intact quantum dots was observed. Evidence suggests degradation of the quantum dots release of component ions with accumulation of Cd and Zn in the gut epithelia. Quantum dots elicited acute toxicity at 0.66 mg/L Cd but promoted increased reproduction at 40 µg/L.
