Plasmon-Exciton Resonant Energy Transfer: Across Scales Hybrid Systems

Figure 4

(a) Time-resolved fluorescence intensity decays: GA and GF systems are compared to pure R6G dye solution. Emission decay of pure R6G (red dots) characterized by a single time constant  ns. The decay dynamics of the GA system (blue dots) exhibit two decay time components representing the fast and short living excited states which are identified. A single short-living emission is identified for GF indicating a strong dye-NP coupling (pink dots). (b) Zoom image of the time-resolved fluorescence decays.
