Abstract:
Semiconductor nanoparticles having high luminescence properties that are preferable for applications and uses of biotechnology are provided. With the use of electric charges on the surfaces of particles, the particles and selected polymers are allowed to electrostatically bind to each other, such that the surfaces of the particles are coated. The polymers are allowed to crosslink to each other, resulting in the improved durability of the particles. Further, functional groups contained in the polymers are exposed on the surfaces of the particles. Accordingly, semiconductor nanoparticles that are preferably utilized for applications such as staining and labeling of biopolymers have been synthesized.

In one aspect, compositions comprising Group III-V nanowires, and methods of making such nanowires, are described herein. In some embodiments, a composition described herein comprises one or more core-shell nanowires comprising a core and a first shell surrounding or substantially surrounding the core. The core is formed from GaAs, and the first shell is formed from GaAs(1-x-y)SbxNy. Additionally, x is 0.08-0.15, and y is 0.005-0.035. In some cases, x is 0.10-0.17, and/or y is 0.01-0.02. Further, the nanowires have an average emission maximum of 1.25-1.35 μm. Moreover, in some instances, the nanowires further comprise a second shell surrounding or substantially surrounding the first shell. The second shell, in some embodiments, is formed from a Group III-V material such as GaAs. For example, in some instances, the nanowires have the structure GaAs/GaAs(0.82-0.9)Sb(0.09-0.15)N(0.005-0.033)/GaAs.
