Nanoemitters: Fine Tuning the Emission Properties of Nanoemitters in Multilayered Structures by Deterministic Control of their Local Photonic Environment (Small 23/2015)

The emission properties of nanosized emitters can be controlled through their local photonic environment. On page 2727, J. F. Galisteo-López, H. Míguez, and co-workers show how, by deterministically positioning dye-doped polystyrene nanospheres in a nanostructured photonic matrix comprising a thin film of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (which can be further used as an optical cavity in multilayered structures), the emission dynamics of the emitters can be controlled.
