Methodology and Physical Characterization of Nanoparticles using Photophysical Techniques
Arnab Maity, Samita Basu
Photochemical techniques involving UV-VIS absorption and emission of light quanta have yielded significant information through electronic perturbation of surface electrons in nano-particle systems used for biological applications. Elucidation of various mechanistic processes improvised the use of sophisticated photonic detecting systems that have been discussed in a simple and lucid manner in this article through citation of literature examples and also from the works of authors’ own laboratory. This includes steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy, time-resolved photodynamic spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis study as well as fluorescence photo imaging systems applied to cellular applications.
