Spring 2012
The present thesis describes preliminary studies required for evaluating silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) as photothermal (PT) therapy agents and drug delivery vehicles. Group 14 semiconductor NCs are of particular interest for these applications because of their tailorable optical response and...
