Abstract:
Nanocomposites consisting of a metal core, a silica-spacer shell with controlled thickness, and a dye-labelled shell were synthesized and separation distance dependent fluorescence enhancement of fluorescein isothiocyanate by silver nanoparticles was studied; the results indicated an optimum enhancement of 4.8 times with a spacer shell thickness of 21 nm.
