Electronic and vibrational energy transfer processes taking place in molecular complexes in a polymer are investigated under dual-wavelength (visible at λ = 532 nm and IR at wavelength λ = 10.6 μm) laser photoexcitation of eosin molecules ( С = 4 × 10^–4 М) in air and without it ( р ≈ 10^–4 Torr) in thin polyvinyl butyral (PVB) films containing silver nanoparticles ( R ≈ 36 nm) prepared by laser ablation. Generation of singlet oxygen, singlet–triplet annihilation, and enhancement of plasmon quenching of dye fluorescence are studied. Thermal-energy transfer processes in thin PVB films following pulsed IR excitation are simulated, and the temperature conductivity coefficients of the polymer films in the presence of silver nanoparticles are calculated. Low-temperature processes in PVB films containing dye molecules taking place after IR excitation are investigated, and the mechanism for accelerating intercombination S _1 → Т _1 transitions as a result of thermal heating and intramolecular vibrational-energy distribution is explained.
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.
