From: Photoluminescence quenching of dye molecules near a resonant silicon nanoparticle

(a) Measured time-resolved normalized PL IPL(t) from coated Si, Au, and YVO4 particles without PEG spacers. (b) Measured values of PL lifetime τ for dyes in the PAH shell around Si, Au, and YVO4 particles versus the distance z between the particle surface and the dye molecules. (c) Measured PL intensity from Si, Au, and YVO4 particles versus spacer thickness for the same particle concentration.
