Abstract:We describe the process of generating a fluorophore-induced plasmonic current (FIPC) from copper nanoparticle films. Previous work and the literature have shown that excited near-field fluorophores are able to plasmonically couple with metal nanoparticle films (MNFs), inducing surface plasmons in the films. These induced surface plasmons are then in turn able to generate a directly measurable electrical current across the film. These generated currents have been quantified and detected in noble metal films, su… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
