Single-Molecule Studies of Enhanced Fluorescence on Silver Island Films [PDF]
We investigated enhanced fluorescence of Cyanine 5 dyesnear silver island films (SIFs) by the use of single moleculespectroscopic method. We found that, on average, the Cy5molecules are 18-fold brighter on SIFs than on a glasssurface and that single-molecule lifetimes are 10-foldshorter on SIFs as compared to glass.

From Braemar to Hollywood: The American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Pirates
The pirate tropes that pervade popular culture today can be traced in large part to Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel, Treasure Island. However, it is the novel’s afterlife on film that has generated fictional pirates as we now understand ...

Enhanced Fluorescence Images for Labeled Cells on Silver Island Films [PDF]
Silver island films (SIFs) were deposited on glass substrates to serve as supports. T-Lymphocytic (PM1) cell lines were labeled by Alexa Fluor 680-dextran conjugates on the membranes or by YOYO in the nuclei. The fluorescence images of the cell lines were recorded in the emission intensity and lifetime using scanning confocal microscopy.

Gradient silver nanoparticle layers in absorbing coatings - experimental study [PDF]
Metal island films show a characteristic absorption peak related to the surface plasmon resonance of free electrons. This kind of film can be used in absorbing coatings, together with dielectric layers.

Plasmonics and single‐molecule detection in evaporated silver‐island films
AbstractThe plasmonic origin of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) leads to the concept of hotspots and plasmon coupling that can be realized in the interstitial regions, or on specially engineered, silver and gold nanostructures. It is also possible to achieve spatial locations of high local field or hotspots on silver‐island films (SIF ...

Laser writing of bright colours on near-percolation plasmonic reflector arrays [PDF]
Colouration by surface nanostructuring has attracted a great deal of attention by the virtue of making use of environment-friendly recyclable materials and generating non-bleaching colours [1-8].

Enhancement of FITC Fluorescence by Silver Colloids and Silver Island Films
Silver colloids and silver island fllms as °uorescence enhancement sys-tems are the subject of this paper. Enhancement of °uorescence of moleculesplaced near metallic nanoparticles is a result of resonance interaction of ex-citing and emitted lights with surface plasmons. Two models explainingthis phenomenon are presented.

Facile fabrication of stretchable Ag nanowire/polyurethane electrodes using high intensity pulsed light [PDF]
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have emerged as a promising nanomaterial for next generation stretchable electronics. However, until now, the fabrication of AgNW-based components has been hampered by complex and time-consuming steps. Here, we introduce a facile,

Electrochemical deposition of SERS active nanostructured silver films
An electrochemical multiple scan cyclic voltammetry (CV) method was used to prepare surface- enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active silver island films to investigate the effect of potential scan rate and number of CV scans on the SERS performance.
