Immobilization of enzymes to silver island films for enhanced enzymatic activity. [PDF]
The performance of the enzyme-based biosensors depends on the enzymatic activity and the use of an appropriate technique for immobilization of enzymes. The incorporation of silver island films (SIFs) into the enzyme-based biosensors is expected to enhance the enzymatic activity and to increase the detectability of analytes of interest.Two enzymes, β ...

Decreasing photobleaching by silver island films: application to muscle. [PDF]
Recently it has become possible to study interactions between proteins at the level of single molecules. This requires collecting data from an extremely small volume, small enough to contain one molecule-typically of the order of attoliters (10(-18) L).

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.

Angular-Dependent Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence from Silver Island Films. [PDF]
In this Letter we report the observation of angular-dependent metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) from fluorophores deposited onto silver island films (SiFs). When illuminated with laser light (473nm) at angles of 45° and 90° from the surface, SiFs scattered light at wide observation angles biased by the direction of the incident light.

Plasmon-enhanced sensitization of singlet oxygen on silver island films
The influence of the plasmonic effect of silver island films on the absorption, fluorescence and long-term luminescence of rose bengal in polyvinyl butyral films has been studied. Under the plasmon effect, the optical density of the dye increased by 3.3

Plasmon effect on triplet-singlet energy transfer in the dye-doped Langmuir-Blodgett films [PDF]
The effect of silver plasmonic nanoparticles on triplet-singlet energy transfer in the donor-acceptor pair of organic dyes was studied. Layered dye films were prepared on the surface of glass and island silver films using the Langmuir-Blodgett method ...

Effect of Plasmonic Nanostructures on the Optical Properties of CH3NH3PbI Perovskite Films
This paper investigated the optical properties of both silver island films (SIF) and CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films obtained on the surface of SIF. It was found that the surface morphology of SIF has a substantial effect on the optical density of perovskite

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 ...
