Abstract:Resonant energy transfer (RET) systems consisting of organic dye molecules bound to gold nanoparticles have recently gained considerable interest in materials science as well as in biophotonics [I]. Gold-nanoparticles are chemically inert, so no photobleaching occurs, they have a high extinction coefficient leading to a larger transfer radius and finally goldnanoparticles do not luminesce, thus crosstalk between donor and acceptor does not exist.'Here, we report results of time-resolved fluorescence experiment… Show more
