Nanocrystals have gained much interest in recent years, due to their unusual properties allowing interesting applications in physical and biological science. In this literature review, biological nanocrystals are discussed from the spectroscopic point of view. Firstly, the theory behind the outstanding abilities of the nanocrystals is described. Secondly, the spectroscopic properties of biological nanocrystals are mentioned. Lastly, the use of nanocrystals with various spectroscopic applications is reviewed such as biosensor applications with UV-visible and surface plasmon resonance and Raman spectroscopy of biological materials. Finally, a short discussion of infrared nanocrystals and their abilities are included in the review.

Microwave assisted sythesis of rare earth ions doped lanthanum orthoborate, their characterizations and investigations of luminescence properties Badan, Cansın; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Esentürk, Okan; Department of Chemistry (2012) Lanthanum orthoborate (LaBO3) has aroused interest of scientists for many decades because of their remarkable properties and potential applications. They provide favorable magnetic properties for various applications. Additionally, they possess high VUV transparency and exceptional optical damage when they compose with rare earth elements. This study comprises the synthesis of pure lanthanum orthoborate, europium, dysprosium and terbium doped lanthanum orthoborate by two methods with v three fuels, citric a...
Exciton simulations of the optical properties of several photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes İşeri, Erkut İnan; Gülen, Demet; Department of Physics (2004) The work presented in this thesis was aimed to investigate the structure-function relationship of several photosynthetic Light-Harvesting Complexes (LHCs) including Chlorophyll Protein 29 (CP29) and Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) of green plants, and Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex of green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum. Based on the exciton calculations, a model was proposed to the electronic excited states (EES) of both CP29 and LHCII complexes by incorporating a considerable part of the cur...
Metal nanoparticles in liquid phase catalysis; from recent advances to future goals Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (2011-01-01) Metal nanoparticles have attracted much attention over the last decade owing to their unique properties, different to their bulk counterparts, which pave the way for their application in different fields from materials science and engineering to biomedical applications. Of particular interest, the use of metal nanoparticles in catalysis has brought superior efficiency in terms of activity, selectivity and lifetime to heterogeneous catalysis. This article reviews the recent developments in the synthesis rout...
Chemical Vapour Deposition of Graphene with Re useable Pt and Cu substrates for Flexible Electronics Karamat, Shumaıla; Sonusen, Selda; Çelik, Ümit; Uysallı, Yiğit; Oral, Ahmet (null; 2015-03-06) Graphene has gained the attention of scientific world due to its outstanding physical properties. The future demand of flexible electronics such as solar cells, light emitting diodes, photo-detectors and touch screen technology requires more exploration of graphene properties on flexible substrates. The most interesting application of graphene is in organic light emitting diodes (OLED) where efforts are in progress to replace brittle indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode with a flexible graphene electrode becaus...
Stability of carbon nanoonion C-20@C-60@C-240: Molecular dynamics simulations Erkoç, Şakir (2002-03-01) The structural stability of carbon nanoonion C-20@C-60@C-240 has been investigated by performing molecular dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that carbon nanoonion is not so resistive against heat treatment, nor is it as strong as isolated single carbon nanoballs. Although single nanoballs resist heat treatment up to 4300 K, nanoonion disintegrates after 2600 K.
