Silica nanoparticles doped with multiple dyes featuring highly efficient energy transfer and tunable Stokes-shift

It has surprisingly been found that using certain silica nanoparticles disclosed in combination with a selection of dyes endowed with specific spectral characteristics, the problem of selfquenching is unexpectedly avoided or at least substantially reduced, and a large Stokes shift is obtained even u...
