Using high refractive index nanoparticles to inhibition of spontaneous emission

The article discusses the issues of inhibition of spontaneous emission of molecules by using silicon spherical nanoparticles and dimers made from them. It is shown that at different wavelengths of the visible spectral range, the value of the total spontaneous transitions rate in a molecule located at an optimal distance with respect to the structure with silicon nanospheres and at an optimal size of the structure can be up to 5-10 times lower than the transition rate in the case when the nanoparticles are absent.
