Associated luminescence/plasmonic nanoparticles were prepared in a single step process as a result of laser illumination (low intensity CW He-Cd laser) of colloidal solution of YVO4:Eu3+@SiO2 mixed with heterometallic supramolecular complex. The results of SEM-EDX analysis, absorption, steady-state luminescence and luminescence decay measurements revealed formation of associated nanohybrids with core/shell morphology. The obtained nanostructures demonstrated metal enhanced luminescence with enhancement factor of 1.6. The theoretical calculations revealed strong correlation of enhancement factor and plasmonic nanoparticles number.
