Plasmon-induced spectral tunability of Perovskite nanowires

Abstract

In this paper, plasmon-assisted spectral tunability in random media, composed of Perovskite (CsPbBr3) nanowires surrounded by Au nanoparticle clusters in polystyrene matrix, is achieved. The interaction between the surface plasmons and the quantum sources is observed to generate photoluminescence from the higher excited state energy levels of the excited semiconductor nanowires, which results in a blueshifted fluorescence emission of 50 nm. The localized surface plasmon properties are also determined to be tuned by plasmonic pumping of the quantum sources at different resonant frequencies. Thus, the first observation of the tunable blueshifted fluorescence emission of the semiconductor nanocrystals surrounded by plasmonic nanoparticle aggregates is achieved. The dramatic changes in the spectral profiles of the fluorescent nanowires are attributed to be due to the fast dynamics surface enhanced fluorescence mechanism.
