Tuning the photoluminescence of CdTe quantum dots by controllable coupling to plasmonic Au nanoparticles
A controllable variation of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) via their coupling to plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) is the potential basis for optoelectronic and sensing applications.In this work, the effect of Au NPs on the PL of colloidal CdTe QDs is investigated in solution and solid films.An PL enhancement f
