Effect of Fe-=SUB=-3-=/SUB=-O-=SUB=-4-=/SUB=- nanoparticle concentration on the luminescence of AgInS-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-/ZnS in hybrid complex CaCO-=SUB=-3-=/SUB=--Fe-=SUB=-3-=/SUB=-O-=SUB=-4-=/SUB=-@AgInS-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-/ZnS

Abstract

In this paper, we studied the properties of a multifunctional system, in which the luminescent and magnetic properties are combined. The calcium carbonate microspheres are used as porous matrices for complexes combining luminescence properties of AgInS2/ZnS quantum dots and magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The study investigates the effect of magnetic nanoparticles concentration on optical properties of quantum dots in CaCO3-Fe3O4@AgInS2/ZnS complexes. It is shown that applying calcium carbonate microspheres as a matrix permits to reduce quenching of the quantum dots luminescence. Keywords: hybrid system; ternary quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, iron oxide; calcium carbonate microspheres.
