Diamond nanoparticles as photoluminescent nanoprobes for biology and near-field optics
arXiv:0809.2026 · doi:10.1016/j.jlumin.2009.04.089
Abstract
We present results showing the potential of diamond nanoparticles with size less than 50 nm as photoluminescent nanoprobes for serving as stable point-like emitters attached at the tip apex of a near-field optical microscope to achieve enhanced spatial resolution.
