Accelerated Nonradiative Electron-Excitation Energy Transfer between Molecules in Aqueous Pools of Reverse Micelles Containing Encapsulated Silver Nanoparticles

摘要

The effect of metal nanoparticles on the rate of intermolecular inductive-resonance transfer of electron-excitation energy has been experimentally studied in a system of reverse micelles. The efficiency of the energy transfer has been found to be increased in this system as compared with samples free of metal nanoparticles. A mathematical model that qualitatively agrees with experimental data has been proposed for the process.
