Gold and Gold/Silver nanoparticles were fabricated with laser ablation and characterized with SEM, TEM, UV/VIS and photoluminescence measurements. They show a large size distribution and agglomeration, as well as a broad PL signal, which results from the decay of a particle plasmon within the model of Dulkeith et al [1]. Continuous excitation with a 405nm diode laser steadily shifts the peak wavelength to lower energies and reduces the intensity, which regenerates to some extend after exposure. In a second step we examine the interaction between metal and semiconductor nanoparticles by adding CdSe/ZnS quantum dots to the Au and Au/Ag NP solutions. First spectrum and peak analysis show mixed emission, which can be explained by a simple superposition of the Au and the CdSe NP PL. No indication of interaction between metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles is observed in the emission energies, presumably due to insufficient mixing, leading to a large distance between both components.
