The study focuses on the energy transfer using silver nanoparticles in ferroelectric liquid crystal, highlighting the basic characteristics of nanoparticles. The linear relationship between the concentration of nanoparticles and NSET parameters and quenching efficiency provides insights for sensing applications requiring high sensitivity.
In the recent past, the resonance energy transfer studies using metallic nanoparticles has become a matter of quintessence in modern technology, which considerably extends its applications in probing specific biological and chemical processes. In the present study, metallic-silver nanoparticles of 2-4 nm (diameter) capped with hexanethiol ligand are developed and dispersed in ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC). The morphology of nanoparticles was characterized using HR-TEM and SEM techniques. Furthermore, a systematic study of energy transfer between the host FLC material (as donors) and metallic-silver nanoparticles (as acceptors) has been explored employing steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The nanoparticle based surface energy transfer (NSET) parameters viz., transfer efficiency, transfer rate, and proximity distance between donor and acceptor, have been determined for NSET couples (FLC material-metallic-silver nanoparticle) composites. It is observed that various NSET parameters and quenching efficiency follow a linear dependence on the concentration of metallic-silver nanoparticles in host FLC material. The nonradiative energy transfer and superquenching effect were analyzed with the help of Stern-Volmer plots. The impact of present study about superquenching effect of the silver nanoparticles can be used for sensing applications that require high degree sensitivity.
