Retraction: “Manipulating fluorescence color and intensity with regular metal nanoparticle-based composite materials” [Appl. Phys. Lett. 108, 051112 (2016)]

The Editor and publisher have retracted the referenced publication.¹ This action is taken because the paper includes ideas, processes, and results of colleagues without giving them proper credit. In addition, the work was covered under a confidentiality agreement with a funding organization, published without the organization's knowledge or permission, and without acknowledging the source of the funding. Because of the latter legal issue, the electronic version of the paper has been removed from the website.
