Electric field dependence of quantum dot (QD) photoluminescence under single ph oton and two-photon illumination: towards membrane voltage QD sensors KU Leuven
Optical stimulation and detection of neuronal signals with high spatio-temporal resolution are of major importance in neuroscience. Quantum dots (QDs) have been used in biological applications primarily in the imaging field, where the interfaces created between such particles and cells were mainly passive (no influence of the QDs on the cellular properties) [1]. On the other hand, semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs) display ...
