photolysis
(redirected from photolytic)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Hutchinson 0.06 sec.

photolysis

Breakdown of molecules into smaller units via absorption of light. Flash photolysis, an experimental technique developed by Manfred Eigen, Ronald George Weyford Norrish, and George Porter, studies short-lived chemical intermediates formed in many photochemical reactions. An intense, brief flash of light splits molecules into short-lived fragments, which are analyzed by spectrophotometry in a second, less intense flash.

photolysis [fō′täl·ə·səs]
(physical chemistry)
The use of radiant energy to produce chemical changes.

From this, it can be seen that QD physicochemical properties are fundamental to understanding QD toxicity; it is the stability of QD core-coating bioactive complexes that may render QDs potentially harmful, and because QDs have been found to degrade under photolytic and oxidative conditions, QD stability likely wild figure significantly in commercialization of QD products.
