Zusammenfassung: | One of prospective ways for boosting efficiency of luminescent materials is their combination with noble metal nanoparticles. Collective, so-called plasmon, oscillations of surface electrons in a nanoparticle can resonantly interact with incident or fluorescent light and cause an increase in the light absorption cross section or radiative rate for an adjacent emitter. Plasmonic inorganic phosphors require gentle host crystallization at which added noble nanoparticles will not suffer from aggregation or oxidation. The prospective plasmonic Mg{sub 2}TiO{sub 4}:Mn{sup 4+} phosphor containing core@shell Ag@SiO{sub 2} nanoparticles is prepared here by spare low-temperature annealing of a sol-gel host precursor. It is revealed that Mn{sup 4+} luminescence nonmonotonously depends on the size and concentration of 40 and 70 nm silver nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that luminescence of the Mg{sub 2}TiO{sub 4}:Mn{sup 4+} phosphor can be up to a 1.5 times increase when Mn{sup 4+} excitation is supported by localized surface plasmon resonance in Ag@SiO{sub 2} nanoparticles. © 2019 American Chemical Society. |
