Abstract

Hybrid associates formed from colloidal Zn0.5Cd0.5S quantum dots, passivated with thioglycolic acid, europium tenoyltrioteracetonate and methylene blue molecules, absorption, luminescence, IR and time-resolved spectroscopy technique are studied. The shift of the IR absorption bands of COO- and C=O groups of thioglycolic acid and europium thenoyltrifluoroacetonate has been detected. An increase in the efficiency of excitation of europium luminescence and a simultaneous increase lifetime of its luminescence upon adsorption on Zn0.5Cd0.5S quantum dots were found. Addition of methylene blue (thionine) molecules leads to quenching of the trap state luminescence of Zn0.5Cd0.5S and intracentric luminescence of Eu3+. A conclusion about the adsorption of Eu3+ on the surface of Zn0.5Cd0.5S quantum dots and the nonradiative energy transfer to methylene blue molecules was made.
