BLINKING BEHAVIOR OF QDOT NANOCRYSTALS UNDER 1-& 2-PHOTON CONDITIONS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 2007年8月3日，与Enrico就该项目进行了交谈。 IVGN公司是向生物医学研究社区提供商业量子点纳米晶体的最大供应商。量子点纳米晶技术固有的局限性之一就是量子点纳米晶的“眨眼”现象。作为LFD-UCI(位于加利福尼亚州卡尔斯巴德的IVGN公司中心)(本质上)的邻居，我们希望探索如何测量这种眨眼现象，以期设计出不眨眼的量子点纳米晶体。不闪烁的量子点纳米晶体将进一步帮助生物医学研究人员进行研究。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Spoke with Enrico about this project on Aug 3 2007. IVGN corporation is the largest supplier of commercial quantum-dot nanocrystals to the biomedical research community. One of the intrinsic limitations of quantum-dot nanocrystal technology is the phenomena of qdot-nanocrystal "blinking". Being (essentially) a next-door neighbor to the LFD-UCI (IVGN corporate center in Carlsbad CA), we would like to explore making measurements of this blinking phenomena in the hope of designing qdot-nanocrystals that do not blink. Non-blinking qdot-nanocrystals would further enable biomedical researchers in their studies.
