We observe photoluminescence emission at the particle plasmon frequency from gold nanoparticles when the nanoparticles are excited above the d - sp interband transition threshold. Estimates of quantum yields for direct emission from d - sp interband recombination in bulk metals have given quantum efficiencies of 10−10 [1]. In contrast, here we observe a quantum efficiency of 10−6 , which is essentially independent of the particle size. This increased quantum efficiency is explained by a two step process: Instead of a direct emission of a photon, the d - sp band recombination excites a particle plasmon which in turn decays radiatively, emitting a photon.
