Paper Abstract
We studied physical properties of hybrid nanostructures consisting of α-NaYF4:Tm3+/Yb3+ nanocrystals coupled to
single silver nanowires. By using confocal fluorescence microscope we observed much higher intensity of the upconversion
emission form nanocrystals placed in the vicinity of nanowires as compared to isolated ones. At the
same time Fluorescence Life-time Imaging Microscopy demonstrates shortening of the fluorescence decays times
for metal-coupled nanocrystals. We conclude that plasmon-enhanced emission rates are mainly responsible for
enhanced up-conversion efficiency.
