Our strategy could offer the following features 1 the formation of Mn ZnS ZnS core shell QDs resulted in enhancement of the PL intensity with respect to that of bare Mn ZnS nanocrystals due to the effective elimination of the surface defects 2 the magnetic nanoparticles were coated with silica in order to reduce any detrimental effects on the QD PL by the magnetic cores and 3 both Fe3O4 MPs and Mn ZnS ZnS core-shell QDs were encapsulated in silica spheres and the obtained MPQDs became water soluble. The experimental conditions for the silica coating on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles such as the ratio of water to surfactant R the amount of ammonia and the amount of tetraethoxysilane on the photoluminescence properties of MPQDs were studied. It was found that the silica coating on the surface of Fe3O4 could effectively suppress the interaction between the Fe3O4 and the QDs under the most optimal parameters and the emission intensity of MPQDs showed a maximum. The bifunctional MPQDs prepared under the most optimal parameters have a typical diameter of 35 nm and a saturation magnetization of emu g at room temperature and exhibit strong photoluminescence intensity.
