Pol. VL - 9 IS - 4 SE - Articles DO - 10.4302/plp.v9i4.791 UR - https://www.photonics.pl/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/9-39 SP - pp. 107-109 AB - The article presents the possible mechanisms of interaction between emission of Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from Ag<sup>0</sup> nanoparticles. The antimony-germanate glasses were synthetized by standard melt-quenching method. The influence of high-phonon glass forming compounds on excitation and luminescence spectra was analysed. Also, we showed that Sb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> is a mild reducing agent of noble metal ions. This mild reduction property enables thermochemical reduction of Ag<sup>+</sup> to Ag<sup>0</sup> in a single-step during the melting process. The energy transfer mechanisms between Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions and Ag<sup>0</sup> nanoparticles were also discussed in terms of local field effect of Ag<sup>0</sup> nanoparticles. <br /> <br /> Full Text: <a class="file" href="/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/9-39/508" target="_parent">PDF</a> <br /> <br /> <strong>References</strong><ol><li>S.
