This study describes the preparation and characterization of novel multilayer core-shell nanoparticles displaying metal-enhanced Forster resonant energy transfer. The increase in range and efficiency of Forster resonant energy transfer in these fluorescent nanocomposites and their vastly improved luminosity make them promising optical probes for a variety of applications such as cell imaging and biosensing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
