Abstract
We report tuning of photoluminescence enhancement and quenching from closed packed monolayers of cadmium selenide quantum dots doped with gold nanoparticles Plasmonmediated control of the emission intensity from the monolayers is achieved by varying the size and packing density of the quantum dots as well as the doping concentration of gold nanoparticles We observe a unique packing density dependent crossover from enhancement to quenching and vice versa for fixed size of quantum dots and doping concentration of gold nanoparticles We suggest that this behavior is indicative of a crossover from single particle to collective emission from quantum dots mediated by gold nanoparticlesWe acknowledge the Department of Science and Technology Nanomission India for the financial support and the Advanced Facility for Microscopy and Microanalysis Indian Institute of Science Bangalore for the access to TEM measurements M Praveena acknowledges UGC India for the financial support
