Near Infrared-Emitting Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications by Antonio Benayas,Eva Hemmer,Guosong Hong,Daniel Jaque Pdf

​This book analyzes and evaluates the growing field of light-emitting nanoprobes as contrast agents for in vivo imaging and sensing. It is a comprehensive resource that critically analyzes the state of the art in an interdisciplinary manner, with a special focus on the shift of emission wavelengths into the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region (ranging from 0.7 to 2 microns), which has greatly contributed to the latest advances in biomedical imaging and sensing. This book discusses merits of different contrast agents at nanoscale, and how their unique chemical and structural properties lead to the emission and interaction of light within the NIR window. Both the NIR-emitting materials and various surface modification strategies governing their interactions with the biological system at the “nano” level are discussed. Furthermore, different experimental techniques and protocols for NIR-light-based in vivo imaging and sensing are addressed to shed light on further understanding of the advantages and limitations of each category of these nanoprobes. Assembles the state of the art heretofore appearing in scientific literature into a comprehensive, multi-perspective guidebook on near infrared-emitting nanomaterials in an assortment of biomedical applications; Explains the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena underlying near infrared-emitting nanomaterials for biomedical applications; Presents conceptual and experimental approaches surrounding a unique spectral range of light emission from nanosized contrast agents, while offering a clear explanation of basic and general phenomena regarding the interaction between light and biological tissues, such as absorption, scattering and autofluorescence.

Luminescent Nanomaterials and Their Applications by Suman Devi Pdf

Luminescent nanomaterials are materials that emit light when stimulated or excited by an external energy source, such as light or heat. These materials have gained significant attention due to their unique optical and electronic properties, as well as their potential applications in a wide range of fields, including biomedical imaging, optical sensing, and display technology. There are several types of luminescent nanomaterials, including quantum dots, upconversion nanoparticles, and fluorescent dyes. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that exhibit unique electronic and optical properties due to their small size and quantum confinement effects. Upconversion nanoparticles, on the other hand, can absorb low-energy photons and emit high-energy photons, allowing for efficient energy conversion. Fluorescent dyes are organic molecules that absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths. One of the most promising applications of luminescent nanomaterials is in biomedical imaging, where they can be used for in vitro and in vivo imaging of cells and tissues. For example, quantum dots have been used to label cells for tracking and monitoring cell behavior. Upconversion nanoparticles have been used in bioimaging applications due to their low cytotoxicity and high photostability. Fluorescent dyes have also been widely used for in vivo imaging due to their ability to target specific tissues and cells.

Functional Nanomaterials for Optoelectronics and other Applications by Witold ?ojkowski Pdf

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). Research and development in the field of nanomaterials - thin films, nanowires, nanocrystals and nanostructured bulk materials - has increased very rapidly during recent years. Especially significant has been research in which the structure is closely controlled at the nanometer level in order to achieve the desired functional properties. Important discoveries have been made, including quantum dots, confinement effects and super-emission, and the prospects for rapid development in these areas are very promising. The results of much of the basic research have been the basis of an astonishing rate of progress in microelectronics. It is therefore expected that the study and development of nanomaterials will provide a firm foundation for a major increase in the number of advanced technologies and for the development of new optoelectronics and photonic devices.
