Increasing resonance energy transfer upon dilution: a counterintuitive observation in CTAB micelles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stable CTAB micelles loaded with DiI and DiD are prepared, showing RET. Remarkably, the RET efficiency increases upon diluting sample below critical micellar concentration, as dyes cluster around CTAB.

Energy Transfer in Ce0.85Tb0.15F3 Nanoparticles-CTAB Shell-Chlorin e6 System
Formation and electronic excitation energy transfer process in the nanosystem consisting of Ce0.85Tb0.15F3 nanoparticles, cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant, and chlorin e6 photosensitizer were studied. It was shown that chlorin e6 molecules bind to Ce0.85Tb0.15F3 NP in the presence of CTAB forming thus Ce0.85Tb0.15F3 NP-CTAB-chlorin e6 nanosystem. We consider that binding occurs via chlorin...
متن کاملUltrafast dynamics in a nanocage of enzymes: solvation and fluorescence resonance energy transfer in reverse micelles.
In this contribution we report studies of the nature of solvation and resonance energy transfer processes in a reverse micelle (RM) upon encapsulation of a digestive enzyme, alpha-chymotrypsin (CHT). We have used one donor, Coumarin 500 (C500), and three acceptors Rhodamine 123 (R123, cationic), ethidium bromide (EtBr, cationic), and Merocyanine 540 (MC540, anionic). By selectively exciting the...
متن کاملSoftening upon Adsorption in Microporous Materials: A Counterintuitive Mechanical Response.
We demonstrate here that microporous materials can exhibit softening upon adsorption of guest molecules, at low to intermediate pore loading, in parallel to the pore shrinking that is well-known in this regime. This novel and counterintuitive mechanical response was observed through molecular simulations of both model pore systems (such as slit pore) and real metal-organic frameworks. It is con...
متن کاملEnergy Transfer in Spherical Geometry Application to Micelles
A model for long-range dipole-dipole energy transfer in spherical geometry is presented which, from steady-state or time-resolved fluorescence measurements, enables the determination of the relative positions of donor and acceptor inside the sphere. Its application to micelles (sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS, and Triton X-100) did not lead to a quantitative determination of the position of the pr...
متن کاملUltrafast energy transfer in water-AOT reverse micelles.
A spectroscopic investigation of the vibrational dynamics of water in a geometrically confined environment is presented. Reverse micelles of the ternary microemulsion H2O/AOT/n-octane (AOT = bis-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate or aerosol-OT) with diameters ranging from 1 to 10 nm are used as a model system for nanoscopic water droplets surrounded by a soft-matter boundary. Femtosecond nonlinear inf...
