High Sensitivity Luminescence Nanothermometry on the Basis of Lattice Dilation of Nanocrystals†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20131065

Abstract

Abstract:

Temperature is a critical thermodynamic parameter in many biological and biotechnological processes. And its measurement is often required for both scientific research and industrial applications. However, measuring the local temperature and temperature gradient in the nanoscale regime remains an enormous challenge. Due to quantum confinement effect, semiconductor nanocrystals(NCs) show unique size-dependent optical property, which has got people’s extensive concern in the past few years and supplies a new approach towards measuring temperature in the nanoscale regime. In this review article, various NCs-based thermometers were systematically summarized with the aim to inspire the researchers engaged in this field.

Key words: Fluorescent nanocrystal, Nanothermometer, Lattice dilation, Surface modification
