Preparation of Stable, Bright Luminescent Nanoparticles Having Compositionally Engineered Properties
Publication number: 20100059713Abstract: A method is provided for preparing luminescent semiconductor nanoparticles composed of a first component X, a second component A, and a third component B, wherein X, A, and B are different, by combining B with X and A in an amount such that the molar ratio B:(A+B) is in the range of approximately 0.001 to 0.20 and the molar ratio X:(A+B) is in the range of approximately 0.5:1.0 to 2:1. The characteristics of the thus-prepared nanoparticles can be substantially similar to those of nanoparticles containing only X and B while maintaining many useful properties characteristic of nanoparticles containing only X and A. The nanoparticles so prepared can additionally exhibit emergent properties such as a peak emission energy less than that characteristic of a particle composed of XA or XB alone; this method is particularly applicable to the preparation of stable, bright nanoparticles that emit in the red to infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2009Publication date: March 11, 2010Applicant: LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Marc Schrier, Donald A.

Patent number: 7625504Abstract: The present invention is related to a phosphor that can be excited by UV light between 375 to 400 nm to emit white light, which is intrinsically produced by emitting blue light with yellow light simultaneously. This compound is synthesized from organic amine, metal oxide and phosphate under hydrothermal conditions, and gives rise to a zeolitic structure with the chemical formula of (A)5-x/2[Zn9-xGaxO(HPO4)(PO4)8].yH2O (0<x<9, 0<y<15). On the other hand, when synthesized by different solvents, it is possible to obtain a phosphor of the same chemical formula and structure, but it can emit yellow light when excited by UV light or blue light emitted by LED between 300 to 500 nm.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventors: Sue-Lein Wang, Yueh-Chun Liao, Chia-Her Lin
