YVO4:Eu3+ nanocrystal powders (∼30 nm) with different doping concentrations were prepared using a precipitation method. Bulky powders (∼500 nm) were obtained by annealing the nanopowders at high temperature. The concentration quenching of luminescent centers and energy transfer in YVO4: Eu3+ powders were investigated. It was found that quenching concentration for Eu3+ 5D0→7F2 transition emission in nanopowders is distinctly higher than that in bulk powders. The type of energy transfer that caused concentration quenching was identified to be electric dipole–dipole interaction in bulk powders and exchange interaction in nanopowders. The electric dipole–dipole interaction is a long-range interaction (operating range of several nanometers). The size confinement effect of boundary in nanoparticles has obvious inhibitory effect on electric dipole–dipole interaction, and hardly affect the exchange interaction which is a short-range interaction (operating range several angstroms). The electric dipole–dipole interaction is restrained by particle boundary in nanopowders. So energy transfer of Eu3+ ions in nanomaterials is dominated by exchange interaction, and quenching concentration of nanomaterials is higher than in bulky materials.

Abstract A quantitative analysis of fluorescence self-quenching of chlorophylls a and b in ether as well as chlorophyll a in lipid vesicles and liposomes has been carried out. It is demonstrated that concentration changes of the fluorescence quantum yield can be correctly described by a Förster-type excitation energy transfer process between chlorophyll molecules in the monomeric form if part of the transfers leads to energy degradation.

We have studied emission kinetics of HITC laser dye on top of glass, smooth Au films, and randomly structured porous Au nanofoams. The observed concentration quenching of luminescence of highly concentrated dye on top of glass (energy transfer to acceptors) and the inhibition of the concentration quenching in vicinity of smooth Au films were in accord with our recent findings. Intriguingly, the emission kinetics recorded in different local spots of the Au nanofoam samples had a spread of the decay rates, which was large at low dye concentrations and became narrower with increase of the dye concentration. We infer that in different subvolumes of Au nanofoams, HITC molecules are coupled to the nanofoams weaker or stronger. The inhibition of the concentration quenching in Au nanofoams was stronger than on top of smooth Au films. This was true for all weakly and strongly coupled subvolumes contributing to the spread of the emission kinetics. The experimental observations were explained using theoretical model accounting for change in the Förster radius caused by the strong energy transfer to metal.

Electronic excitation energy transfer was studied for chlorophyll a in a solid solution of poly­styrene by measuring the concentration quenching of quantum yield, polarization, and lifetime of fluorescence. The concentration quenching of the experimental fluorescence quantum yield is adequately described by Kelly and Porter’s empirical formula (Proc. Roy. Soc., Lond. A 315, 149, 1970), and of polarization of fluorescence by the Jablonski theory (Acta Phys. Pol., 14, 295, 1955). With increasing concentration of chlorophyll a, the fluorescence peak at 672 nm (mainly monomer) is red-shifted, the intensity of the emission peak at ∼730 nm (mainly aggregate) relative to that at the shorter wavelength is increased. The R̅0 values, calculated by using total concentrations, for the emission at 672 nm and 730 nm are 73 ± 2 Å and 45 ±1 Å, respectively. This may suggest that the chlorophyll monomers have a greater efficiency of energy transfer than the aggregates, which fluoresce at ∼ 730 nm.

Abstract A formula for the donor photoluminescence decay time in its dependence on the concentrations of donor D and acceptor A has been derived from equations for the non-radiative excitation energy transfer between randomly distributed donor and acceptor molecules within a nonactive medium. In the limit [D]/[A] → 0 the formula becomes identical with that of Galanin [7], while in the absence of concentration quenching the fluorescence decay time does not depend on the concentrations.
