摘要：

Light emission at the particle plasmon frequency is observed in optically excited spherical gold nanoparticles. We find a photoluminescence efficiency of 10(-6), which is essentially independent of particle size and four orders of magnitude higher than the efficiencies determined from metal films. Our experimental findings are explained with a process in which excited d-band holes recombine nonradiatively with sp electrons, emitting particle plasmons. These plasmons subsequently radiate, giving rise to the photoluminescence observed in the experiment. We determine the quantum efficiencies involved in this process.
