Chemistry CHEM S-101 : METAL NANO PARTICLES FOR OPTOELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS
Document Summary
From ancient time to the middle ages, the history of the nanoparticles has been summarized. Because of their uniform size and sharp size distribution in nanometres; metallic nanoparticles have received much popularity. In the field of nanotechnology, metallic nanoparticles have shown number of properties and it has unlocked many new pathways in nanotechnology. Metallic nanoparticles have specialty with appropriate functional groups. It can be synthesized and modified that would allow them to bind with ligands, antibodies, drugs. Metallic nanoparticle is nanosized metals with the size range of 10- 100nm. Metallic nanoparticles have unique characteristics such as surface plasmon resonance and optical properties. Imaging sensor, display, solar cell, optical detector and laser-this are the applications based on the optoelectronic properties of metal nanoparticles. It is mainly dependent on some factors such as shape, size, surface area, doping, and interaction with the surrounding. Example the optoelectronic properties of cdse semiconductor nanoparticles can change with size.
