The CdSe/ZnS heterostructures of QDs are of interest due to their high quantum efficiency [13][14][15]. Furthermore, the heterostructure
  • metal materials play a role in the enhancement of fluorescence in QDs, especially gold nanorods (GNRs) and Cu or Ca+ ion binding of QDs [16][17][18][19]. GNRs possess two plasmonic resonance bands – a longitudinal band and a transverse band. These bands correspond to the electron oscillations along the
