“…Our results point out that miniaturization amplifies such effects, enabling photochemical reactions which would be regarded as inactive at mild (visible) spectral regions at larger scales. While low absorption has been previously used to enable subdiffractive fabrication processes [41][42][43] , we now suggest that several other photochemical processes could be similarly concerned, highlighting the importance of quantitative and sensitive measurements for understanding local surface modification in the micro and nanoscales.…”
High resolution and quantitative surface modification through photografting is a highly desirable strategy towards the preparation of smart surfaces, enabling chemical functions to be precisely located onto specific regions of...

“…This property is crucial for the fabrication of 2D and 3D structures using the LOPA-based DLW technique on this hybrid material. This is because this technique requires a low absorption rate at the excitation wavelength of 532 nm 29,30 , as indicated by the vertical green line in Fig. 1(a).…”
The excitation energy dependency of single colloidal CdSe-CdS core-shell nanocrystals is investigated at ambient conditions. It was demonstrated that the photoluminescence blinking effect is totally suppressed by optically exciting nanocrystals with a laser wavelength located at a very low absorption spectrum range. The mechanism of this effect is theoretically attributed to excitation of only the core instead of both the core and the shell. The signal to noise ratio and the photon count are also significantly improved and better purity in terms of single photon generation is achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
