Research Slides Showcase

Solid-phase synthesis creates silver NPs with bright, robust luminescence and their TEM Imaging.

An overlay Rayleigh scattering (green) and luminescent (red) image of the NPs. NPs with yellow or orange color exhibit both luminescent and Rayleigh scattering.
Photostability of different types of fluorophores at single molecule level.

Structural characterizations of silver NPs by HRTEM and Domain size distributions obtained from luminescent (red) and nonluminescent (green) NPs.

Luminescent gold nanoparticles with degeneracy of singlet and triplet excited states generated from polymeric gold (I)Thiolate.
