Photoelectron Trap by Green Chloroplast, Hemi, and Semiconductor Nanoparticles, for the Application of Molecular Electronics and Nanomedicine

Gizachew Diga Milki

Abstract


This reseach presents an overview of the photoelectron trap by both organic and analytic nanoparticles. The phenomenon of photon absorption by chloroplast, i.e thylakoids, chlorophyll pigment, Hemi, and semiconductor nanoparticles such ZnO, , and amorphous semiconductor, are studied by determining extinction, absorption, and scattering probabilities by using the probability and density functional theory. We then explain the photoelectron probability density and intensity of photoelectron absorbed by a spherical chloroplast like green nanoparticles, Hemi and metal oxide nanoparticles. Then the phenomenon of trapping process is compared for these nanomaterials, chlorophyll, hemi, nanoparticles (ZnO, , ) and glass ( ). From the study generation of photoelectrons are expected in the visible range of wavelength spectrum because the studied materials are sensitive in this spectrum. This study reveals that these nanomaterials are a great prospect for nanomedicine and molecular electronics.
