Photochromic Quantum Dots

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Results of fundamental and applied research in the field of creating photochromic core-shell type nanoparticles in which semiconductor nanocrystals – quantum dots (QDs) – were used as a core, and the shell included physically or chemically sorbed molecules of photochromic thermally relaxing (spiropyrans, spirooxazines, chromenes, and azo compounds) or thermally irreversible compounds (diarylethenes and fulgimides) have been analyzed. It has been shown that such nanoparticles provide a reversible modulation of the QD radiation intensity, which can be used in information and biomedical technologies.
