We show that in a wide range of parameters, including in the near field, RET is dominated by plasmon-enhanced radiative transfer (PERT) rather than by a nonradiative transfer mechanism. Our numerical calculations performed for molecules near the Ag nanoparticle indicate that RET magnitude is highly sensitive to molecules' positions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-02-28T22:18:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.67.Bf", "73.20.Mf", "78.30.Jw", "82.53.St" ], "keywords": [ "metal nanostructures", "surface plasmons", "maintains energy balance", "plasmon-assisted resonance energy transfer", "wide range" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.83.085427", "year": 2011, "month": "Feb", "volume": 83, "number": 8, "pages": "085427" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83h5427P" } } }
