  Localised surface plasmon mediated energy transfer in quantum dot systems 

  Zhang, Xia (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2015)

  Nonradiative energy transfer to metal nanoparticles (NPs) is a technique used for optical- based distance measurements which is often implemented in sensing. Both Forster resonant energy transfer (FRET) and nanometal surface ...
