Fluorescent properties of gd-doped zno nanonporous networks & its application in optical biosensing

Abstract

This research presents a study of the fluorescent properties of new materials based on gadolinium-doped zinc oxide nanoporous networks obtained by sol gel method on the surface of microcrystalline silicon. The effect of co-doping of different concentrations of Gd ions on the emission properties of ZnO nanoparticles has been investigated. Emissions of such biomolecules as protein, amino acids and porphyrin and its detection limits were studied for the purpose of practical application of Gddoped ZnO nanonporous networks as an element of an optical biosensor technology.
