CdS(Cadmium sulfide)/PAMAM(polyamidoamine) Nanocomposites were in-situ prepared taking PAMAM dendrimers as stabilization in water. The prepared solution containing photoluminescent semiconductor CdS QDs(Quantum dots) was utilized for detection of aged fingermarks on adhesive tape strips. The fingermarks were aged for 1 d, 7 d and 30 d in nature light respectively. The results show that the latent aged fingermarks treated with CdS/PAMAM nanocomposites emit yellow luminescence under ultraviolet excitation of 365 nm in the dark. Aged fingermarks were detected successfully with better resolving rate comparing with existing nano-scale commercial TiO2powder suspension.

AbstractEnsembles of homogeneous self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) and nanoholes are fabricated using molecular beam epitaxy in combination with atomically precise in situ etching. Self-assembled InAs QDs with height fluctuations of ±5% were grown using a very low indium growth rate on GaAs (001) substrate. If these dots are capped with GaAs at low temperature, strong room temperature emission at 1.3 νm with a linewidth of 21 meV from the islands is observed. Subsequently, we fabricate homogeneous arrays of nanoholes by in situ etching the GaAs surface of the capped InAs QDs with AsBr3. The depths of the nanoholes can be tuned over a range of 1-6 nm depending on the nominal etching depth and the initial capping layer thickness. We appoint the formation of nanoholes to a pronounced selectivity of the AsBr3 to local strain fields. The holes can be filled with InAs again such that an atomically flat surface is recovered. QDs in the second layer preferentially form at those sites, where the holes were initially created. Growth conditions for the second InAs layer can be chosen in such a way that lateral QD molecules form on a flat surface.

We have investigated the attachment of azobenzene photochromic switches on the modified surface of cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs). The modification of CdS QDs is done by varying the concentration of the capping agent (mercaptoacetic acid) and NH 3 in order to control the size of the QDs. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the crystallite size of CdS QDs ranged from 6 to 10 nm. The azobenzene photochromic derivatives bis(4-hydroxybenzene-1-azo)4,4′(1,1′ diphenylmethane) (I) and 4,4′-diazenyldibenzoic acid (II) were synthesized and attached with surface-modified CdS QDs to make fluorophore–photochrome CdS-(I) and CdS-(II) dyad assemblies. Upon UV irradiation, the photochromic compounds (I) and (II) undergo a reversible trans – cis isomerization. The photo-induced trans – cis transformation helps to transfer photo-excited electrons from the conduction band of the CdS QDs to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of cis isomer of photochromic compounds (I) and (II). As a result, the fluorescence of CdS-(I) and CdS-(II) dyads is suppressed approximately five times compared to bare CdS QDs. The fluorescence modulation in such systems could help to design luminescent probes for bioimaging applications.
