Abstract
Surface plasmon enhanced Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) between CdTe nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) has been observed in a multilayer acceptor QD-gold nanoparticle-donor QD sandwich structure. Compared to a donor-acceptor QD bilayer structure without gold nanoparticles, the FRET rate is enhanced by a factor of 80 and the Förster radius increases by 103%. Furthermore, a strong impact of the donor QD properties on the surface plasmon mediated FRET is reported.Entities:
