摘要: We use nanoscale (20–300 nm in diameter) single crystalline gold (Au)-caps on silicon nanowires (NWs) grown by the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth mechanism to enhance fluorescence photoluminescence (PL) signals of highly dilute core/shell CdSeTe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) aqueous solution (10−5 M). For NWs without Au-caps, as they appear, for example, after Au etching aqua regia or buffered KI/I2-solution, essentially no signal same diluted QDs could be observed. Fluorescence PL were measured using excitation with a laser wavelength 633 nm. The enhancement crystalline, Au-caps is discussed and interpreted based finite element modeling (FEM).
