Abstract
ABSTRACTExperimental observations and theoretical treatments are carried out for the band shape and relative intensity of the emission from gold nanorods of various aspect ratios in the range between 2.6 (1.5 theory) and 6.3 (9 theory). The calculation of the fluorescence spectra requires knowledge of the nanorod size distribution, the enhancement factors and the shape of the un-enhanced fluorescence spectrum. The comparison between the observed and calculated fluorescence band shapes is found to be good. The calculated changes in the relative intensities with aspect ratios are found to be much greater than that observed experimentally. This is due to the fact that for the observed emission of all the rods studied, nonradiative processes dominate the relaxation mechanism of the excited state, a fact that was not included in the theoretical treatments. Experimental results and theoretical treatments will be presented.
