Photoactivated Fluorescence from Small Silver Nanoclusters and Their Relation to Raman Spectroscopy

Photoactivated fluorescence from individual silver nanoclusters ranging in size from 2 8 atoms has been demonstrated at room temperature. The optical properties of such clusters are far superior to those of fluorescence dyes with absorption cross sections ~50 times stronger than those of even the...
