 abstract = {Surface plasmon mediated excitation energy transfer (EET) between two
nonspherical metal nanoparticles (MNP) is studied through a microscopic
theoretical formulation that provides quantitative information about the
distance, size, shape, and orientation dependence of the transfer rate.
At constant separation, the EET rate increases with increase in the size
of the nanoparticle and decreases with increase in the aspect ratio of
the particle. The relative orientation of the nanoparticles is found to
markedly influence the center-to-center distance (r) dependence of the
excitation energy transfer rate. At intermediate separations, we find a
significant deviation from 1/r(6) dependence (which is robust for
spherical particles at these separations), and it becomes more
pronounced with increase in the aspect ratio of the particles.
Interestingly, the relative orientation of the nanoparticles effect the
surface-to-surface distance (d) dependence of the rate to lesser extend
in comparison to the r-dependence of the rate. Our results suggest that
for nonspherical particles studying EET rate as a function of d (not r)
provides more conclusive results.},
