Water-Soluble Dual-Emitting Nanocrystals for Ratiometric Optical Thermometry

摘要

Multishell semiconductor nanocrystals have been synthesized that display intrinsic dual emission with robust photo and thermal stability and attractive thermal sensitivity. Dual emission is demonstrated following phase transfer into aqueous media. These nanocrystals are suitable for diverse optical thermometric or thermographic applications in biotechnology or other areas.
