Fluorescent lifetimes of molecules on silver-island films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fluorescence of molecules on silver-island films exhibits nonexponential decay and is several orders of magnitude more rapid than on a silica surface, while the total emission intensity is slightly increased. This behavior results from the electromagnetic coupling between the fluorescing molecules and the plasmon resonances of the silver islands. We obtain good agreement with a model that uses the same theory for the electromagnetic coupling as has been used to account for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

Enhancement of FITC Fluorescence by Silver Colloids and Silver Island Films
Silver colloids and silver island films as fluorescence enhancement systems are the subject of this paper. Enhancement of fluorescence of molecules placed near metallic nanoparticles is a result of resonance interaction of exciting and emitted lights with surface plasmons. Two models explaining this phenomenon are presented. Processes of silver colloids and silver island films forming are descr...
متن کاملA New Surface for Surface-Enhanced Infrared Spectroscopy: Tin Island Films
For the first time, it has been observed that tin island films used in surface infrared experiments give rise to an electromagnetic enhancement of the infrared absorption spectrum. The surface enhancement of the infrared (SEIR) absorption by tin island films is shown for evaporated nanometric films of 5,14-pentacenedione (Q2) and naphthalic 1,8:4,5-dianhydride (NTCDA). The experiments and spect...
متن کاملOptical absorption resonances of dye-coated silver-island films.
We have used Mie theory to account for the features of the transmission spectra of dye-coated silver-island films. The unusual behavior of the spectra arises from the effect of the dispersion and damping of the optical response of the absorbing coating on the structural resonances of the silver islands. Our modeling indicates that the power dissipation in the dye coating is enhanced compared wi...
متن کاملMetal-enhanced fluorescence from silver-SiO2-silver nanoburger structures.
Multilayers of nanoburger structures of silver island films-SiO(2)-silver island films (SIFs-SiO(2)-SIFs) were used as substrates to study the fluorescence of close-proximity fluorophores. Compared to single-layered SIFs, multilayer nanoburgers exhibit several distinctive properties including a significantly enhanced fluorescence intensity, decreased lifetimes, and increased fluorphore photosta...
متن کاملEffects of Metallic Nanoalloys on Dye Fluorescence
Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are exploited for their ability to interact with organic compounds and to increase significantly the fluorescence intensity and the photostability of many fluorescent dye molecules. Metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) is therefore widely investigated for biosensing applications. When used in immunoassays, silver island films (SIFs) could augment the fluorescence inten...
