Liposome mediated efficient tuning of FRET between photoexcited 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and an ultrasmall silver nanocluster (Ag NC) has been demonstrated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.

CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) are used as efficient Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) acceptors in a time-resolved immunoassays with Tb complexes as donors providing a long-lived luminescence decay. A detailed decay time analysis of the FRET process is presented. QD FRET sensitization is evidenced by a more than 1000-fold increase of the QD luminescence decay time reaching ca. 0.5 milliseconds, the same value to which the Tb donor decay time is quenched due to FRET to the QD acceptors. The FRET system has an extremely large Förster radius of approx. 100 Å and more than 70% FRET efficiency with a mean donor-acceptor distance of ca. 84 Å, confirming the applied biotin-streptavidin binding system. Time-resolved measurement allows for suppression of short-lived emission due to background fluorescence and directly excited QDs. By this means a detection limit of 18 attomol QDs within the immunoassay is accomplished, an improvement of more than two orders of magnitude compared to commercial systems.

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and polyaniline (PAni) were mixed to prepare CdSe QDs/PAni complex. PAni can quench the fluorescence of CdSe QDs. Fluorescence intensity of CdSe QDs/PAni complex is related to the size of CdSe QDs and the concentration of PAni. UV-Vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy were used to analys the quenching phenomenon. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching is dependent on two factors: on one hand, the Förster resonance energy transfer from CdSe to PAni; on the other hand, PAni can intercept the charge relaxation process of CdSe and lead to the interruption of radiative recombination.
