Using randomly-distributed Ag nanoparticles, we demonstrate plasmonic resonance tuned for the proximal CdSe/ZnS NC emitters to shift PL peak wavelength (by 14 nm) and reduce the FWHM (by 10 nm), while enhancing PL intensity by 15.1 and 21.6 times compared to the control groups of nanocrystals alone and those with nanoAg but no dielectric spacer, respectively.EnglishSpontaneous emissionZinc compoundsNanocrystalsPlasmonsResonanceLuminescenceLocalized plasmon-engineered spontaneous emission of CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals closely-packed in the proximity of Ag nanoislandsConference Paper10.1109/LEOS.2007.4382515
