Quench, glow, or stay silent: distance-controlled up-conversion emission near metallic nanowires

Fluorescence or photoluminescence can be enhanced by the strong electric field close to metal nanostructures. This is known as metal enhanced luminescence. However, the effect is strongly dependent of the distance between the metal structure and the luminescent particle. If the distance is too small, nonradiative processes begin to dominate, […]

Characterisation and application of electrodes with hydrogenated titania nanotubes modified with M13 bacteriophages

A second paper involving our group was just accepted in the Festschrift of the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. Frank Marken from the University of Bath. This is an article by our collaborators in the Surface Nanoengineering Group, where Kasia was leading the work of […]

Optical Interfacing of Plasmonic Waveguides with Colloidal Quantum Dots

The year started with the publication of an article in J. Phys. Chem. C on propagating plasmons in silver nanowires. This work in yet another in the series of articles on silver nanostructures and plasmons run by our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. In this work, it was […]
