摘要
(Figure Presented) A temperature-dependent emission is observed for CdTe nanoparticles connected to Au nanoparticles by a flexible poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG) link acting as a molecular spring (see picture). The extension of the PEG springs varies depending on the temperature, which causes variations in CdTe emission caused by plasmon-exciton interactions. A theoretical model of plasmon-exciton coupling explains the optical and thermal effects. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
