Carbon dots with unique characters of chemical inertness, low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, demonstrate important applications in biology and optoelectronics. In this paper we report the optical properties 01 pH-sensitive carbon dots with different surface modifications. The as-prepared carbon dots can be well dispersed in water by modifying with acid, alkali or metal ions though they tend to form a suspension when being directly dispersed in water We find that the carbon dots dispersed in water show a new emission and absorption character which is tunable due to the pH-sensitive nature. It is firstly proved that the addition of bivalent copper ions offers a high color contrast for visual colorimetric assays for pH measurement. The effect of surface defects with different modification On the performances of the carbon dots is also explored with a core-shell model. The hydro-dispersed carbon dots can be potentially utilized for cellular imaging or metal ion probes in biochemistry. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Observation of gain operation mode in Ge:B BIB THz detector

Changyi Pan, Ziwei Yin, Hao Mou, Tingting Kang, Huiyong Deng, Huizhen Wu, Ning Dai

Summary: The field dependence of the photoresponse in BIB detectors was demonstrated to have a gain operation region between the saturation voltage of the photocurrent and the breakdown voltage of the dark current, with the photoconduction gain being several orders of magnitude larger in this region. By considering field-assisted thermal ionization and photon-assisted impact ionization processes, the gain operation mode can be well explained, allowing Ge:B BIB detectors to detect objects with temperatures as low as 10 K. Providing a theoretical basis for optimizing BIB detectors can further improve their detection performance.
