Abstract

We investigate the enhancement and quenching of Eu3+ emission in presence of Au–ZnO core-shell nanoparticles and Au nanoparticles. The quenching of Eu3+-emission in presence of Au nanoparticles is caused by change of nonradiative rate due to energy transfer. However, the enhancement of Eu3+-emission in presence of Au–ZnO core-shell nanoparticles is due to local field, which modifies the radiative and nonradiative rate. Enhancement and quenching of Eu3+ emission reflect the change in environment of Eu3+ from Au nanoparticles to Au–ZnO core-shell nanoparticles which is confirmed by the Judd–Ofelt parameter (Ω2) analysis.
