Influence of microenvironment on the optical properties of quantum dots based on InP/ZnS and CdSe/ZnS

摘要

Optical properties of quantum dots based on InP and CdSe with organic shells were measured in different environment such as ions solutions and culture medium with serum. Several distinct patterns of luminescence lifetime changes were revealed depending on external factors applied. Besides, the luminescence lifetimes were investigated inside the cultured cells. The obtained data are important for correct biomedical applications.
