摘要: By using silver nanoplatelets with a widely tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and their corresponding local field enhancement, here we show large manipulation of plasmonic enhanced upconversion in NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanocrystals at the single particle level. In particular, that when nanolplatelets is tuned to 656 nm, matching emission wavelength, an enhancement factor ~5 obtained. However, 980 nm, nanocrystal absorption achieve ~22 folds. The precise geometric arrangement between fluorescent nanoparticles allows us make, for first time, comparative analysis experimental results numerical simulations, yielding quantitative agreement Such comparison lays foundations rational design hybrid metal-fluorescent harness biosensing light harvesting applications.
