A simple methodology is developed to enable a greater enhancement (ca. 8 to 10 times) of the fluorescence from Eu 3+ -doped silica in the gel state containing Ag island. The procedure involves the preparation of the Eu 3+ -doped silica gel by a sol–gel method and subsequent immersion in a silver sol (48 h) to allow the adsorption of Ag islands on the pore surfaces. Photoluminescence studies reveal that the enhanced fluorescence originates from a local field enhancement around Eu 3+ caused by the electronic plasmon resonance of the Ag islands. A significantly enhanced fluorescence has high potential for application in optical displays, lasers, and memory devices. — (SELVAN, S. TAMIL; HAYAKAWA, TOMOKATSU; NOGAMI, MASAYUKI; J. Phys. Chem.

Photoluminescence studiesreveal that the enhanced fluorescence originates from a local field enhancementaround Eu3+ caused by the electronic plasmon resonance of the Ag islands. Asignificantly enhanced fluorescence has high potential for application in opticaldisplays, lasers, and memory devices. — (SELVAN, S. TAMIL; HAYAKAWA,TOMOKATSU; NOGAMI, MASAYUKI; J. Phys. Chem.
