nSiNWs/TiO2 exhibit improved optical properties due to the surface plasmons of AuNPs, where band gap emission increases at the expense of defect radiation and higher photocurrent as a result of the near field effect combined with subsequent plasmonic energy transfer.

This paper reports the detailed synthesis mechanism and the structural, morphological and optical characterization of ultraviolet (∼311 nm) excitable samarium doped gadolinium yttrium orthovanadate, (Gd,Y)VO4:Sm3+, nanocrystals. X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement studies confirmed that the synthesized samples crystallize in a tetragonal structure withI41/amdspace group. The enhanced photoluminescence intensity of (Gd,Y)VO4:Sm3+compared with the existing YVO4:Sm3+phosphor clearly indicates the significant role of Gd3+ions. This has been attributed to the sensitization of the6PJenergy level of Gd3+ions by energy transfer from orthovanadate (VO43−) ions and subsequent energy trapping by Sm3+ions. The energy transfer from VO43−to Sm3+viaGd3+ions as intermediates and concentration quenching of Gd3+luminescence are discussed in detail. The optical band gap of the as-prepared nanocrystals has been estimated using UV–vis–NIR absorption spectroscopy, which reveals a slightly higher band gap (3.75 eV) for YVO4as compared to GdYVO4(3.50 eV). Furthermore, confocal microcopy, decay parameters and Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromatic coordinates have supplemented these studies, which established the suitability of these nanophosphors for achieving spectral conversion in silicon solar cells.

Based on the principle of electric dipole radiation and the Planck’s spectral distribution of emissive power, the enhancement of thermal radiation between two planar semi-infinite media or two nano-spheres was studied in this paper by the Monte Carlo method. By this simple method, some parameter’s influence on the radiative heat transfer was investigated, such as the distance between two semi-infinite media, the particle’s radius, the distance between two particles and the difference in temperature between two particles, and so on. This solution is not rigorous but simple. The results show that heat transfer can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude for the near field effect. And the radiative heat transfer is decreasing sharply with the increasing of the distance.
