Photo-induced suppression of plasmonic emission enhancement of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots.
Nanotechnology 2011 October 8
Emission of semiconductor quantum dots can be increased via two fundamentally different processes: (i) surface plasmon resonances (plasmonic emission enhancement) and (ii) irradiation with light (photo-induced fluorescence enhancement). In this paper we theoretically and experimentally study the mutual impacts of these processes on each other in quantum dot solids. We show that when thin films of colloidal quantum dots are placed in the vicinity of Au nano-islands, the plasmonic enhancement of the radiative decay rates of quantum dots and Forster energy transfer can hinder the photo-induced fluorescence enhancement of these films. This in turn leads to significant suppression of their plasmonic emission enhancement when they are irradiated with a laser beam. We investigate the impact of the sizes and shapes of the metallic nanoparticles in this process and theoretically analyze how plasmons and energy transfer can hinder the electrostatic barrier responsible for photo-induced fluorescence enhancement.
