Abstract

Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) are quantum dots that do not contain toxic metals and exhibit a photoluminescent response that may be tailored via changes in particle dimension as well as surface chemistry. Herein, we present a promising hybrid nanomaterial that combines the favourable properties (e.g., photoluminescence, biocompatibility, and surface chemistry) of SiNCs with the magnetic characteristics of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs). Linking these two complementary nanomaterials via DCC coupling has yielded a new advanced hybrid material that possesses the characteristics of its constituents and affords a photoluminescent system that responds to permanent magnets.
