摘要
Au, Ag and bimetallic Au/Ag nanoclusters were prepared under similar microwave-irradiated synthesis conditions in aqueous solutions, using BSA as a stabilizer. The nanoclusters exhibited strong fluorescence with characteristic emission spectral peak features that suggested the presence of multiple emissive states in each case. Time-resolved emission studies revealed the very rare incidence of the time-dependent emission Stokes shift in metal nanoclusters over a time-scale of similar to 10 ns. The shifts were of varying degrees: similar to 200 cm(-1) for Ag, similar to 750 cm(-1) for Au and similar to 1400 cm(-1) for Au/Ag nanoclusters. Application of the Time-Resolved Area Normalized Emission Spectra (TRANES) method confirmed the existence of multiple emissive species in each of the nanoclusters, which also helped to explain the time-dependent emission Stokes shift.
