We have been investigating complexes composed of nano-sheet with anionic charges such
as clay nanosheets and molecules such as cationic organic dyes. Photochemical properties
of organic dyes are much affected by the complex formation with nano-sheet in many cases.
Especially, a strong fluorescence enhancement behavior of dyes was frequently observed
on the nano-sheet surface. Based on the mechanism, we name this unique effect “S-Fixation
Induced Emission (S-FIE)”. The examples for fluorescence enhancement are shown and the …
