Heavy metals detector model based on quantum dots
Modern studies of nanoobject’s properties, such as objects that have quantum properties, can be used for development of new ways of determining the extent of pollution. Model of heavy metals detector, performed on quantum dots, was proposed. Special attention is paid to the physics of FRET-effect, due to this detector can exist. In this study quantum dots A3B5 were selected, as well as their properties, so we can observe FRET-transfer. Size, radiative lifetime, and other parameters of the selected quantum dots were used to calculate the probability of non-radiative energy transfer. Scientific novelty lies in the fact that the proposed heavy metal ions detector model has quantum dots as donors and acceptors in FRET-mechanism of energy transfer.
