Noble metal nanoparticles exhibit localized plasmon resonance modes that span the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges and have many applications. Modifying the size, shape, and composition of the nanoparticles changes the number of…
Near-infrared (NIR) emitters operating in the 650-900 nm range are highly attractive for imaging and sensing in turbid media; however, cadmium-free InP-based quantum dots (QDs) often suffer from limited brightness due to nonradiative…
