ABSTRACTSpectroscopic imaging and statistical analysis of NIR-to-visible upconversion luminescence (UCL) from β-NaYF4:Yb3+:Er3+ upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) supported on a series of random Ag nanowire aggregates reveals a density dependent UCL enhancement. Statistical analysis of the spectrally resolved upconversion images shows a non-linear dependence of upconversion luminescence enhancement with Ag nanowire surface coverage. A maximum average enhancement of 5.8× was observed for 58% surface coverage. Based on the empirically determined trend with density, it is estimated that up to 20× upconversion luminescence enhancement can be achieved at 100% surface coverage, even at high excitation intensity. This projection is commensurate with the 20× enhancement ratio observed for select locations within the imaged micro-ensemble. Time-resolved emission of the UC luminescence from UCNPs on the Ag nanowire aggregates confirms the surface plasmon effects on the UCNPs kinetics. Such Ag nanowire aggregates show potential as a scalable and relatively simple metal-enhanced upconversion substrate.

ABSTRACTWe have recently observed spectrally resolved vibronic structure and luminescence intermittency from nanometer-size porous silicon nanocrystals. In this study we examine the quantum efficiency of a single nanoparticle and show that emitting nanoparticles do so with near unity quantum efficiency. This result suggests that the emission from porous Si nanoparticles, and thus bulk porous Si, results from a small number of high quantum efficiency emitters. In our previous work we have shown that our nanoparticles contain more than one coupled chromophore. In order to examine these effects more closely we employ several spectroscopy and microscopy techniques including: 1) single-particle spectroscopy, 2) shear-force microscopy, and 3) time-resolved spectroscopy, on a colloidal suspension of size-selected, surface-oxidized nanoparticles. In addition we apply statistical techniques to provide a more complete picture of the coupling between chromophores in a given nanoparticle.
