Resonance energy transfer between a spherical nanoparticle and a J-Aggregate

详细

This paper describes the nonradiation (Forster) energy transfer between a dye J-aggregate and closely located nanoparticles possessing the properties of two-level systems. Nanoparticles can be quantum dots (QDs) or a spherical symmetric package of atoms. The dynamics of the process is described by deriving the equations that characterize the density matrix dynamics in a two-level medium and the evolution of exciton pulses in an extended quasi-one-dimensional dye J-aggregate. It is shown that effective controlled resonant transfer of the energy stored in QDs is implemented in the system and manifested in the amplification of the exciton pulses. In turn, there is a possibility of the reverse process of exciton energy transfer in partial inversion of two-level transitions of QDs. The results of this paper are confirmed by the experimental data from the literature.
