摘要
The enhancement of fluorescence by nanoparticles consisting of a metal core, a silica-spacer shell, and a dye-labeled shell, are observed. Fluorescence enhancement is expressed in terms of apparent quantum yield, the ratio of number of emitted photons in the presence of enhancement, and the number of absorbed photons in the absence of enhancement. The important factors that affect fluorescence enhancement are size and shape of nanoparticles, the orientation of dye dipole moments, the overlap of the absorption and emission bands of the dye and, the radiative decay and quantum yield of fluorescent molecules. Fluorescence enhancement results in shortening of excited-state lifetime thus improving the photostability of the dye.
