Enhancement of Energy Transfer between Quantum Dots: The Impact of Metallic Nanoparticle Sizes
Robert G. West,Seyed M. Sadeghi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dependency of plasmonic enhancement of Forster energy transfer between CdSe/ZnS quantum dots on the sizes of metallic nanoparticles as well as the distances between these particles and the quantum dots.

Ultrathin 2 nm gold as ideal impedance-matched absorber for infrared light
Niklas Luhmann,Dennis Høj,Markus Piller,Hendrik Kähler,Miao-Hsuan Chien,Robert G. West,Ulrik L. Andersen,Silvan Schmid +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the application of ultrathin gold (2 nm) on top of a 1.2 nm copper oxide seed layer as an effective IR absorber, achieving an almost wavelength-independent and long-time stable absorptivity of 47(3) %.
Coherent control of Forster energy transfer in nanoparticle molecules: energy nanogates and plasmonic heat pulses.
Seyed M. Sadeghi,Robert G. West +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that quantum-dot-metallic-nanoparticle systems (meta-molecules) can act as functional nanoheaters capable of generating heat pulses with temporal widths determined by their environmental and physical parameters.

Photo-induced suppression of plasmonic emission enhancement of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots.
TL;DR: It is shown that when thin films of colloidal quantum dots are placed in the vicinity of Au nano-islands, the plasmonic enhancement of the radiative decay rates of quantum dots and Forster energy transfer can hinder the photo-induced fluorescence enhancement of these films.

Thermal radiation dominated heat transfer in nanomechanical silicon nitride drum resonators
Markus Piller,Pedram Sadeghi,Robert G. West,Niklas Luhmann,Paolo Martini,Ole Hansen,Silvan Schmid +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal transport in nanomechanical SiN drum resonators was investigated by analytical modeling, computational simulations, and experiments for a better understanding of the underlying heat transfer mechanism causing the thermal frequency response.
