摘要
Silicon nanocrystals with an average diameter of 5 nm and functionalized with 4,7-di(2-thienyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole chromophores (TBT) and dodecyl chains exhibit near-infrared emission upon one-photon (1P) excitation at 515 nm and two-photon (2P) excitation at 960 nm. By using TBT chromophores as an antenna, we were able to enhance both 1P and 2P absorption cross-sections of the silicon nanocrystals to more efficiently excite their long-lived luminescence. These results chart a path to 2P-excitable imaging probes with long-lived oxygen-independent luminescence, a rare combination of properties that should allow for a substantial increase in imaging contrast.
