Fluorescence energy transfer in hybrid structures of semiconductor nanocrystals

SummaryStarting from a short introduction on basic properties of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals and on the FRET formalism, we focus on fluorescence energy transfer in hybrid systems combining organic (dyes, conjugated polymers) and inorganic (nanocrystals) components, providing examples for their application in biological systems and in photovoltaic devices.
