Fano resonances in heterogeneous dimers of silicon and gold nanospheres

We theoretically investigate the optical properties of dimers consisting of a gold nanosphere and a silicon nanosphere. The absorption spectrum of the gold sphere in the dimer can be significantly altered and exhibits a pronounced Fano profile. Analytical Mie theory and numerical simulations show that the Fano profile is induced by constructive and destructive interference between the incident electric field and the electric field of the magnetic dipole mode of the silicon sphere in a narrow wavelength range. The effects of the silicon sphere size, distance between the two spheres, and excitation configuration on the optical responses of the dimers are studied. Our study reveals the coherent feature of the electric fields of magnetic dipole modes in dielectric nanostructures and the strong interactions of the coherent fields with other nanophotonic structures.     

Nanosphere Templated Metallic Grating Assisted Enhanced Fluorescence

In this paper, enhanced fluorescence from a silver film coated nanosphere templated grating is presented. Initially, numerical simulation was performed to determine the plasmon resonance wavelength by varying the thickness of the silver film on top of a monolayer of 400 nm nanospheres. The simulation results are verified experimentally and tested for enhancing fluorescence from fluorescein isothiocyanate whose excitation wavelength closely matches with the plasmon resonance wavelength of the substrate with 100 nm silver film over nanosphere. The 12 times enhancement in the intensity is attributed to the local field enhancement in addition to the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons along the surface.     

Excitation of erbium in the heterogeneous nanocrystalline matrix of amorphous silicon

The erbium photoluminescence decay kinetics at a wavelength of 1.54 μm in amorphous hydrogenated silicon films obtained at high oxygen concentrations in a magnetron gas discharge is investigated. Optically active erbium is found to exist both in the semiconducting matrix of amorphous silicon and in dielectric nanocrystals of erbium silicate, which are formed in this case. The concentration ratio of excited erbium in amorphous silicon and in the nanocrystals is determined, as well as the time of excitation transfer from erbium in amorphous silicon to erbium in the nanocrystals. The mechanism of erbium excitation in this heterogeneous system is considered. The external quantum yield of erbium photoluminescence measured at a wavelength of 1.54 μm and room temperature is found to be 0.3–0.4%.

Local field enhancement of pair arrays of silver nanospheres

Local field surface plasmon excitation of pair arrays of silver nanospheres was studied using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method.

The surface plasmon resonance could be controlled and tuned by radius of nanosphere and incident wavelength.     

Temperature dependence of photoluminescence of semiconductor quantum dots upon indirect excitation in a SiO2 dielectric matrix

The processes of excitation and relaxation of confined excitons in semiconductor quantum dots upon indirect high-energy excitation have been considered. The temperature behavior of photoluminescence of quantum dots in a SiO₂ dielectric matrix has been described using a model accounting for the process of population of quantum-dot triplet states upon excitation transfer through mobile excitons of the matrix. Analytical expressions that take into account the two-stage and three-stage schemes of relaxation transitions have been obtained. The applicability of these expressions for analyzing fluorescence properties of semiconductor quantum dots has been demonstrated using the example of silicon and carbon nanoparticles in the thin-film SiO₂ matrix. It has been shown that the complex character of the temperature dependences of the photoluminescence upon indirect excitation can be an indication of a multistage relaxation of excited states of the matrix and quantum dots. The model concepts developed in this study allow one to predict the form of temperature dependences of the photoluminescence for different schemes of indirect excitation of quantum dots.

     

Excitation Energy Transport in a Concentrated System of Flavomononucleotide in Polyvinyl Alcohol Films

Excitation energy transport mechanism of flavomononucleotide polyvinyl alcohol films is studied. Excitation wavelength and temperature dependences of fluorescence spectra and quantum yields for different concentrations of the dye are investigated. These measurements together with those of absorption reveal that dimers are imperfect traps for excitation energy and that the energy transfer can occur both in the forward and in the reverse direction. It was found that, contrary to liquid solutions, the dimerization constant of flavomononucleotide in polyvinyl alcohol films does not depend on temperature and that the irregularities observed can be explained by the temperature-dependent changes in the quantum yield of the monomer–dimer system and the effect of inhomogeneous orientation broadening of energy levels.
