Comparison of Fluorescence Behaviors of Rhodamine 6G with Palladium-Coated Gold Nanorods in Formations of Solutions and Thin Films

Abstract:

We have reported on the fluorescence behaviors of Rhodamine 6G with the palladium-coat gold nanorods in dichlormethane solution and in polymethylmethaceylate thin film. By monitoring the emission intensity of these samples, they show the enhancement of fluorescence intensity through the optical effect known as a plasmon resonance energy transfer. The enhancement intensity of fluorescence is enhanced up to 1.6 fold for the sample solution and 1.4 fold for the sample thin film.
