FRET enhancement in multilayer core-shell nanoparticles.
This study describes the preparation and characterization of novel multilayer core-shell nanoparticles displaying metal-enhanced Forster resonant energy transfer. The increase in range and efficiency of Forster resonant energy transfer in these fluorescent nanocomposites and their vastly improved luminosity make them promising optical probes for a variety of applications such as cell imaging and biosensing.
