Popis: Spectral and kinetic features of the optical conversion of electronic energy were studied during dipole–dipole transfer of electronic excitation between silver (Ag) sol nanoparticles (NPs) of small and medium sizes and rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules on the surface of a macroporous silica (C-80) with an irregular pore structure. It was found that Ag NPs were adsorbed unevenly to the C-80 surface with clusters of differently sized Ag NPs distributed as islets. Threshold gain of the light scattered by surface plasmons was detected at a certain concentration of Ag NPs on the silica. Local plasmon excitations in Ag NP clusters on the silica were evaluated quantitatively.
