Quantum emitters, such as q-dots and dye molecules, in the immediate vicinity of plasmonic nanostructures, resonantly excite surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) under incoherent pump. The efficiency in the excitation of SPPs increases as the…
Hexagonally arranged Au nano particles (NPs) exhibiting a broad size distribution ranging from 30 nm to 80 nm with a Gaussian shape were deposited on Si substrates and irradiated with Ar+ and Ga+ ions with various energies from 20 to 350…
We theoretically and numerically investigate metal enhanced fluorescence of plasmonic core-shell nanoparticles doped with rare earth (RE) ions. Particle shape and size are engineered to maximize the average enhancement factor (AEF) of the…
We report on a novel method for tuning and enhancing fluorescence from irradiated polystyrene through electron-beam exposure in gaseous environments. We describe the effect of electron dose and ambient gas on the photoluminescence spectra…
In this article we present a new diagnostic approach utilizing flow-cytometry to study compounds of nanoparticle samples in solution by analysis of their scattering patterns retrieved from the cytometric measurements. As a specific…
This work explores the enhancement of ionization clusters around a gold nanoparticle (NP), indicative of the induction of DNA lesions, a potential trigger for cell-death. Monte Carlo track structure simulations were performed to determine…
The fluorescence of organic fluorophore molecules is enhanced when they are placed in contact with certain metals (Al, Ag, Cu, Au, etc.) whose surface plasmon waves couple into the radiative modes of the molecules and increase the radiative…
Er doped Si light emitting diodes may find important applications in the generation and storage of quantum information. These diodes exhibit an emission efficiency two orders of magnitude higher at reverse bias than forward bias due to…
Localized surface plasmon resonances have recently attracted considerable attention due to their ability to dramatically enhance near-field optical intensities and boost nanoscale light-matter interactions. Here we demonstrate unambiguously…
This article describes the optical properties of nanostructures composed of silver particles embedded into a gold matrix. In previous studies these materials were shown to exhibit temperature dependent transitions to a highly conductive and…
Using nanometer spatial resolution electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and cathodoluminescence (CL) mapping, we demonstrate that Au alloys containing a poor plasmonic metal (Pd) can…
Motivated by recent experiments [Ward et al., Nature Nanotech. 5, 732 (2010)], we present here a theoretical analysis of the optical response of sharp gold electrodes separated by a subnanometer gap. In particular, we have used classical…
We report a significant enhancement of room-temperature photoluminescence from trivalent erbium-doped (Er3+) silicon nitride (Si3N4) metasurfaces at the telecommunication wavelength prepared via ion implantation. The metasurfaces,…
Metallic nanoparticles embedded in dielectrics permit enhanced capture of light at specific wavelengths through excitation of plasmons, i.e. the quanta of coherent and collective oscillations of large concentrations of nearly free…
We demonstrate that the fluorescent emitters can increase light emission from the plasmonic nanostructures in turn. With the help of atomic force microscopy, a hybrid system consisting of a fluorescent nanodiamond and a gold nanoparticle…
Gold nanoclusters are grown by 1.8 MeV Au^\sup{2+} implantation on c-Al\sub{2}O\sub{3}(0001)substrate and subsequent air annealing at temperatures 1273K. Post-annealed samples show plasmon resonance in the optical (561-579 nm) region for…
Scattering from metal nanoparticles near their localized plasmon resonance; especially, the resonances of noble metals which are mostly in the visible or infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum; is a way of improving light absorption…
The flexibility and versatility of nanoassembled plasmonic structures provide platforms for mesoscale tunable optical modulation. Our recently developed model for these nanoassembled plasmonic structures is composed of a dielectric…
We propose a novel approach to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by incorporating grated Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) and plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) into the absorber layer. The CdS grating acts as the electron…
