The spectral and nonlinear optical properties of InAs nanowires suspensions in isopropanol were studied at room temperature. InAs nanowires were synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy. The absorption spectra of suspensions with a characteristic maximum at a wavelength of 235 nm were obtained, as well as Raman spectra in the range 180–280 cm – 1. The nonlinear transmission of InAs nanowires with a diameter less than the Bohr radius of the exciton upon two-photon excitation in the transparency region in the visible range (λ = 468 nm) was studied firstly. The effect of cumulative bleaching was discovered, the manifestation of which is associated with the dynamic Stark effect.
The interaction of semiconductor water-soluble InP/ZnS-PEG-COOH quantum dots (QDs) with dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in fresh and sea water samples has been studied. It was found that an increase in the DBP concentration in a fresh water with QDs leads to an increase in the QD luminescence (PL) amplitude. The PL increase is caused by the DBP molecules localization in the QD Onsager cavity and the passivation of its surface. An increase in the ethanol concentration enhances the solubility of DBP and can serve as a means of raising the sensitivity when registering phthalates in aqueous media. Observations of the PL dynamics in sea water samples from the Black, Mediterranean, and White seas showed the individual character of the interaction of InP/ZnS QDs with DBP, as well as in the case of an increase in ethanol concentration. It has been established that plastic packaging containing substances with a few percentage of alcohol is potentially hazardous to human health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
