Energy transfer from phosphorescent blue-emitting oxidized porous silicon to rhodamine 110

2010 
Nanocomposites consisting of oxidized porous Si (OPSi) impregnated with rhodamine 110 (Rh110) molecules are characterized in terms of luminescence properties. The photoluminescence and its polarization memory strongly indicates a trace of energy transfer from the fast blue luminescence band of OPSi to the green one of Rh110. Time-resolved experiments showed that energy transfer to Rh110 also takes place from the long-lived blue phosphorescence of OPSi. The transfer channel from nonradiative states of OPSi to Rh110 was also found. The ability of OPSi to harvest and transfer absorbed photon energy to a guest is promising for applications in optoelectronics and biology.
