The effect of silver doping on the electronic properties and photoluminescence of a class of structurally similar AgnAu25–n2+ nanoclusters (0 ≤ n ≤ 13) has been investigated here by means of time-dependent density functional calculations. As very recently reported in the literature, a mixture of these clusters showed an unexpected 200-fold fluorescence quantum yield boost with respect to Au252+, but no mechanism has been proposed to date to explain this phenomenon. The results presented here suggest that the origin of this boost lies in the nature of the first excited state (S1), which is affected differently by the increasing presence of Ag atoms into the network of Au atoms. In fact, doping the cluster with silver atoms has the effect of ...
