  • Applications of light-emitting nanoparticles
    Patent number: 8618595
    Abstract: A method for the production of a robust, chemically stable, crystalline, passivated nanoparticle and composition containing the same, that emit light with high efficiencies and size-tunable and excitation energy tunable color. The methods include the thermal degradation of a precursor molecule in the presence of a capping agent at high temperature and elevated pressure. A particular composition prepared by the methods is a passivated silicon nanoparticle composition displaying discrete optical transitions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2013
    Assignee: Merck Patent GmbH
    Inventors: Brian A. Korgel, Keith P. Johnston, Katherine Brosh, Paul Thurk
