High‐Sensitivity Fluorescence Lifetime Thermal Sensing Based on CdTe Quantum Dots

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: The potential use of CdTe quantum dots as luminescence nano-probes for lifetime fluorescence nano-thermometry is demonstrated. The maximum thermal sensitivity achievable is strongly dependent on the quantum dot size. For the smallest sizes (close to 1 nm) the lifetime thermal sensitivity overcomes those of conventional nano-probes used in fluorescence lifetime thermometry.
