Dynamics of picosecond-resolved luminescence transients of C343 dye in the presence and absence of bare ZnO nanorods and ZnO/Au nanocomposites.^a

Samples	τ₁ (ns)	τ₂ (ns)	τ₃ (ns)	τ_avg (ns)

C343	3.866 (26%)	1.494 (48%)	0.191 (26%)	1.772
C343 + ZnO	2.508 (2%)	0.560 (4%)	0.015 (94%)	0.087
C343 + ZnO/Au	3.282 (3%)	0.691 (3%)	0.016 (94%)	0.134

^aThe emissions from C343 dye (probed at 480 nm) were detected with a 409 nm laser excitation. Numbers in the parentheses indicate the relative weighting.
