  • Chiroptically-Active Quantum Nanostructures 

    LOUDON, ALEXANDER (Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2018)
    In this research, a wide variety of fluorescent nanoparticles have been synthesised and analysed through the lens of optical activity and potential chiroptical applications. Cadmium and cadmium-free fluorescent nanoparticles ...

  • Exploring New and Enhanced Optical Functionalities in Coupled Nano-Systems 

    GOUGH, JOHN (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2018)
    In this thesis, a variety of novel emerging systems were chosen to explore new and enhanced optical functionalities in coupled nano-systems. The coupling of novel nanomaterials with complimentary properties paves the way ...

  • Folic acid modified gelatine coated quantum dots as potential reagents for in vitro cancer diagnostics. 

    GOUNKO, IOURI; GERARD, VALERIE; MAGUIRE, CIARAN (2011)
    BACKGROUND: Gelatine coating was previously shown to effectively reduce the cytotoxicity of CdTe Quantum Dots (QDs) which was a first step towards utilising them for biomedical applications. To be useful they also need ...
