In studying the radiationless energy transfer between unlike molecules (heterotransfer) in fluid and rigid solutions the fluctuations of the concentration of the acceptor molecules, as well as the dependence of the probability of resonance excitation energy transfer on the mutual orientation of the transition moments of the interacting donor and acceptor molecules have been taken into account. With these and the assumptions of the shell model of a luminescent centre (A. Kawski and J. Kaminski, Z. Naturforsch. 29 a, 452 [1974]) one obtains the Förster expression for the quantum yield of the donor fluorescence quenched by foreign absorbing substances

Abstract A formula for the donor photoluminescence decay time in its dependence on the concentrations of donor D and acceptor A has been derived from equations for the non-radiative excitation energy transfer between randomly distributed donor and acceptor molecules within a nonactive medium. In the limit [D]/[A] → 0 the formula becomes identical with that of Galanin [7], while in the absence of concentration quenching the fluorescence decay time does not depend on the concentrations.

Abstract In mixed systems of donor and acceptor molecules having closely located S1 levels a reversible nonradiative energy transfer should occur. It influences remarkably the dependence of the donor quantum yield ηD on the acceptor concentration in the range of high acceptor concentrations of systems with high donor-to-acceptor reduced concentration ratios.

Photonic States

Optical cavities, plasmonic structures, photonic band crystals and interfaces, as well as, generally speaking, any photonic media with homogeneous or spatially inhomogeneous dielectric permittivity (including metamaterials) have local densities of photonic states, which are different from that in vacuum. These modified density of states environments are known to control both the rate and the angular distribution of spontaneous emission. In the present study, we question whether the proximity to metallic and metamaterial surfaces can affect other physical phenomena of fundamental and practical importance. We show that the same substrates and the same nonlocal dielectric environments that boost spontaneous emission, also inhibit Förster energy transfer between donor and acceptor molecules doped into a thin polymeric film. This finding correlates with the fact that in dielectric media, the rate of spontaneous emission is proportional to the index of refractionn, while the rate of the donor–acceptor energy transfer (in solid solutions with a random distribution of acceptors) is proportional ton−1.5. This heuristic correspondence suggests that other classical and quantum phenomena, which in regular dielectric media depend onn, can also be controlled with custom-tailored metamaterials, plasmonic structures, and cavities.

Time Resolved Photoluminescence

We studied the photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence from self-assembled bilayers of donor and acceptor nanoparticles (NPs) adsorbed on a quartz substrate through organic linkers. Charge and energy transfer processes within the assemblies were investigated as a function of the length of the dithiolated linker (DT) between the donors and acceptors. We found an unusual linker-length-dependency in the emission of the donors. This dependency may be explained by charge and energy transfer processes in the vertical direction (from the donors to the acceptors) that depend strongly on charge transfer processes occurring in the horizontal plane (within the monolayer of the acceptor), namely, parallel to the substrate.

Membrane microdomains (“lipid rafts”) enriched in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, glycosphingolipids, and cholesterol have been implicated in events ranging from membrane trafficking to signal transduction. Although there is biochemical evidence for such membrane microdomains, they have not been visualized by light or electron microscopy. To probe for microdomains enriched in GPI- anchored proteins in intact cell membranes, we used a novel form of digital microscopy, imaging fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), which extends the resolution of fluorescence microscopy to the molecular level (&lt;100 Å). We detected significant energy transfer between donor- and acceptor-labeled antibodies against the GPI-anchored protein 5′ nucleotidase (5′ NT) at the apical membrane of MDCK cells. The efficiency of energy transfer correlated strongly with the surface density of the acceptor-labeled antibody. The FRET data conformed to theoretical predictions for two-dimensional FRET between randomly distributed molecules and were inconsistent with a model in which 5′ NT is constitutively clustered. Though we cannot completely exclude the possibility that some 5′ NT is in clusters, the data imply that most 5′ NT molecules are randomly distributed across the apical surface of MDCK cells. These findings constrain current models for lipid rafts and the membrane organization of GPI-anchored proteins.
