Synthesis of silver hollow nanoparticles and observation of photoluminescence emission properties

►Hollow silver nanoparticles of 15-60 nm particle sizes are prepared by laser ablation. ►Prepared Ag nanoparticles show sharp absorptions in the UV and visible regions. ►Strong interband transition along-with SPR oscillations is reported. ►Enhancement (2.4 times) in photoluminescence emission in the UV region is reported.
