 abstract = {A quantum mechanical theory of the rate of excitation energy transfer
from a fluorescent dye molecule to the surface plasmonic modes of a
spherical metal nanoparticle is presented. The theory predicts the
distance dependence of the transfer rate to vary as 1/d(sigma), with
sigma=3-4 at intermediate distances, in partial agreement with the
recent experimental results. Forster's 1/d(6) dependence is recovered at
large separations. The predicted rate exhibits nontrivial nanoparticle
size dependence, ultimately going over to an asymptotic, a(3) size
dependence. Unlike in conventional fluorescence resonance energy
transfer, the orientational factor is found to vary between 1 and 4.},
