Nonradiative resonant energy transfer from CdSeS quantum dot to gold nanofilm was investigated by taking nanosecond and picosecond time resolved photoluminescence measurements. Surface plasma resonant absorption peak of gold nanofilm was adjusted to meet the near resonant conditions with the fluorescence peak of quantum dot by changing the thickness. Surface trapping state was proved to be the origin of the long lifetime component by comparing fresh and eight months aged quantum dot. It was observed that the excitonic state lifetime of the quantum dots was reduced by nonradiative resonant energy transfer to gold nanofilm. Nonradiative resonant energy transfer time, which was comparable with the surface trapping time, was calculated based on the data of picosecond photoluminescence measurements. No nonradiative energy transfer from surface trapping state to gold nanofilm, thus the lifetime of surface trapping state was not affected obviously. It is suggested that in the assembly combined with quantum dot and gold nanostructure, nonradiative energy transfer will occur after the population of excitonic state, and compete with surface trapping process. The interactions between surface trapping state and gold nanoflim were not exhibited.
