Quantum dots (QDs) rendered water soluble for biological applications are usually
passivated by several inorganic and/or organic layers in order to increase fluorescence yield. …

… These nanocrystals are also smaller than coated QDs and may be able to cross cell walls
and membranes more easily (JA Kloepfer, RE Mielke, and JL Nadeau, submitted for …

The photophysical properties of CdSe and ZnS(CdSe) semiconductor quantum dots in nonpolar
and aqueous solutions were examined with steady-state (absorption and emission) and …

Dissolved Ba concentrations in the inner shelf waters of the South Atlantic Bight (SAB) are
two- to three-fold enriched in Ba when compared to Atlantic surface water. We determined that …

The ultrafast dynamics following one-photon UV photodetachment of I − ions in aqueous
solution are compared with those following two-photon ionization of the solvent. Ultrafast pump–…

… We find it impossible to reconcile the parameters from Jay-… We find it significant that Jay-Gerin
and co-workers were … We note that this spectral component was unassigned by Jay-Gerin …

The photodetachment of iodide ions in solution is probed via ultrafast spectroscopy with ∼50
fs time resolution. Excitation of I − is achieved with a single photon at 255 nm, populating …

Because of the coatings needed to solubilize and passivate quantum dots for biological
applications, their use in fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been limited. …

The competition between geminate recombination of electrons with their parent radicals
and electron scavenging with H + is directly time resolved with ∼100 fs resolution at several …

… A Lennard–Jones type 12-4 potential form would provide a more physical basis (Kloepfer,
2002), however, we seek only the magnitude of the interaction and its variation. For the …
