Plasmonic enhancement of Förster energy transfer between two molecules in the vicinity of a metallic nanoparticle: Nonlocal optical effects
The problem of Förster resonance energy transfer FRET between two molecules in the vicinity of a metallic nanoparticle such as a nanoshell is studied within a phenomenological model which takes into account the nonlocal optical response of the metal. This model allows for arbitrary locations and orientations of the two molecular dipoles with respect to the metal particle which can be of ultrasm...
متن کاملMolecular fluorescence enhancement in plasmonic environments: exploring the role of nonlocal effects.
Molecular spontaneous emission and fluorescence depend strongly on the emitter local environment. Plasmonic nanoparticles provide excellent templates for tailoring fluorophore emission, as they exhibit potential for both fluorescence enhancement and quenching, depending on emitter positioning in the nanoparticle vicinity. Here we explore the influence of hitherto disregarded nonclassical effect...
متن کاملFluorescence characteristics of a molecule in the vicinity of a plasmonic nanomatryoska: nonlocal optical effects
The fluorescence characteristics of a dipole molecule in the vicinity of a spherical multilayered metallic nanoshell (a plasmonic nanomatryoska) of ultra-small dimensions is studied via electrodynamic modeling, where we have computed the fluorescence decay rates, the shifts in emission frequency, and the overall fluorescence yields for molecular dipoles of both tangential and radial orientation...
متن کاملNonlocal optical effects on the fluorescence and decay rates for admolecules at a metallic nanoparticle.
A phenomenological model is implemented to study the decay rates of fluorescing molecules in the vicinity of a metallic nanoparticle, wherein the nonlocal optical response of the particle is accounted for via the hydrodynamic model for the description of the free electrons in the metal. These nonlocal effects are examined for each of the radiative rate and the nonradiative rate of the admolecul...
متن کاملNanoshell-enabled photonics-based imaging and therapy of cancer.
Metal nanoshells are a novel type of composite spherical nanoparticle consisting of a dielectric core covered by a thin metallic shell which is typically gold. Nanoshells possess highly favorable optical and chemical properties for biomedical imaging and therapeutic applications. By varying the relative the dimensions of the core and the shell, the optical resonance of these nanoparticles can b...
